Hi C.G.,

Thanks for asking! A friend and I were swapping scary stories one snowy night a long time ago and—without giving too much away—she shared a tale about how doing someone a simple favor could go horribly wrong. That seed stayed with me for two decades and eventually grew into He'll Be Waiting. I hope you enjoy the story!
Happy writing,
Liz(less)
