January 31, 2026 Andrea Mike

At Grandpa’s funeral, 18-year-old Dahlia feels isolated as her family fumes over the pitiful $1 inheritance. But when a stranger slips her a secret note, Dahlia is pulled into a mystery only she can solve. I stood by the graveside, hands clenched in the pockets of my too-small black dress, listening to the priest’s droning voice blend with the rustle of the wind.

Two stretchers rolled in with sheets already pulled over the faces—parents who had been silenced instantly in a highway wreckage. Following them was a gurney carrying a three-year-old girl.…

The bus shelter, where Clare Bennett sat offered little protection from the cold, and she huddled against the plexiglass wall, her arms wrapped around herself, trying to conserve what little warmth remained in her body.
