Scorched

by Alyssa Drake

Tormented by horrific nightmares, a woman teetering on the brink of reality must determine if her madness is the result of a traumatic experience or something much more sinister.

Two months after witnessing the gruesome death of her husband, Jenny drifts through each day, a vacant shell. Haunted by memories of Walker, she caves to her sister’s demands, agreeing to check into Briar Glen Mental Health Facility the next morning.

However, someone else has plans for Jenny this Halloween. When a gift from her deceased husband is delivered, the distressing present sets into motion a chilling plan of revenge—one which results in death.

Is this all just an elaborately cruel prank or has Walker returned from the grave to reclaim his bride?

Is it madness or eternal love?
After watching her husband die in a tragic fire, a young woman is haunted by strange occurrences in this chilling Halloween short story. Is it a psychological drama or a paranormal thriller?
I'm not really sure, but it was definitely a wild ride and a story I really enjoyed.
