I kept going. Three more minutes passed before he said, “Park here.” I pulled over. The street was quiet. A row of trees lined the pavement on one side. Nobody was around. I turned off the engine and looked at him. He was already unlocking his phone. “I need you to listen to something,” he said. He pressed play. The first recording was from the police station. The meeting room. I recognised the hollow quality of the sound, small space, hard walls. And then I heard Eloise’s voice.

In his coat pocket lay the last voice note Naomi ever recorded. He hadn’t listened to it yet. Couldn’t. Not because he didn’t want to hear her voice, but because he was terrified it would sound too alive. --- Scene 1: A City Built on Ghosts POV: Eli Navarro | Location: Valeburn South | Time: 6:02 AM A child sat near the ruins of a busted newspaper stand, scribbling on cracked cement with a red crayon. “Whatcha drawin’?” Eli asked. The child looked up—eyes too tired for ten years old.

“ . . . we should be honored to’ve been called to witness this glorious communion with Him, as one of your very own—a young’un—has chosen to . . . ” As the end of the path loomed, the voice seemed to rise and fall in pitch and tone, slowing down, speeding up, wavering between crystal-clarity and sluggish monotone. It sounded, at times, as if the speaker’s mouth was filled with oil, the words gurgling and bubbling. Other times the voice echoed, as if coming from down a long tunnel. I came to the path’s end. Slipped a little on a moss-covered rock and stumbled through the break in the undergrowth, falling to my hands and knees into the cemetery behind the church. My hands burned with scrapes a

His silver eyes flicker intensely under the glare of the streetlamps from outside, illuminating his granite-like features and taking my breath away for a moment. I lower my eyes, unsure of what to say and he seems to understand without any words. He slides his hand undermine, interlocking our fingers before raising my hand to his lips. His lips embracing my skin sends electric pulses all over as I lean into him bashfully. “Were almost there. Just gotta head down this last road and we’ll reach the warehouse yard. We should start seeing some lights in a few seconds…” Isaac trails off, indicating as we take a final turn left down a spooky unlit road beside the seafront. I straighten out and gl

“Good thing I recorded the whole thing. I knew one of you would forget.” Nathan sighed with relief as Kemi played the scratchy audio of the old man’s voice. They followed the instructions carefully, turning where he said to turn, counting the number of large baobab trees along the roadside just as he had described. But even with the recording, the road continued to narrow until finally, it ended altogether — nothing but a faint footpath disappearing into a tangle of overgrown vegetation. “Looks like this is where the road ends,” Nathan said, switching off the engine and stepping out. “We’ll have to walk the rest of the way.”

Tony was somewhere on the other side, and I had to find him. A truck rumbled past behind me, close enough that I felt the ground shake under my feet. My heart was beating so fast it felt like it might burst from my chest. Finally, my feet hit the sidewalk on the other side. I bent over, gasping like I'd run a marathon. * * *

"That means you’re finally awake." I look at the phone. I reach out. I turn it off. "There," I say. "Now we’re alone." The silence is absolute. I look out at the horizon. The sun is starting to rise. "It’s a new day, Liam." "Is it?" "For us, it is." "And for everyone else?" "For everyone else, the world just ended." The car speeds up. The city is shrinking in the rearview mirror. "Aiden?" "Yes?"

" He scooped Brianna up and walked out without looking back. I stood there alone, the whispers from outside the door cutting through, every one of them landing like a blade. Diana rushed in. "What happened? I just saw Dexter carrying Brianna out." My face was drained of color. It took me a long time to manage a smile. "Diana, can you move my flight up to tomorrow?
