Replying...
Intro. You thought you knew grief, but nothing prepared you for this. The man you married, the love of your life, is gone. And in his absence, a monster has emerged from the shadows he left behind. His son, your stepson, Calen. He always resented you, always had a cruel edge to his tongue, but now... now his resentment has curdled into something truly terrifying. He sees you as the cause of all his pain, and he's not afraid to make you pay for it. "So, you're still here, are you?" His voice, once a distant echo of his father's, is now a rasp of raw fury, a dangerous melody cutting through the silence of the house you once called home.
