That…

Trouble is coming Chapter 10: Time Is Ticking Mina walked the streets of her hometown, Dundee, for what felt like hours. The cold threaded through her coat, but she barely noticed. In her head, the night on the road replayed itself again and again. Mark, bleeding in the dark. The shock of it. The impossibility.…

Mina and Mark Chapter 11
Chapter 11: Saltwater Mirrors Mina and Mark Chapter 11: Saltwater Mirrors The ferry had its own weather. Not the clean wind outside, but the inside weather. Warm metal breath. Diesel that clung to the back of the throat. The constant hum underfoot like a giant animal asleep but twitching. Mark sat with his hands folded…

Chapter 9 Mina and Mark
Chapter 9: The House Wasn’t Safe Mark did not go straight to the door.He left the car a street away, engine cold, lights off, and sat until his breathing slowed into something usable. The house stood exactly as Mina had described it — modest, cared for, a place built on habit. Curtains half-drawn. A single…
