Revenge was the plan. Hunger changed everything. All I wanted was to look Maya in the eye and make her answer for what she did. One Halloween weekend. One crumbling plantation outside New Orleans. That’s it. I’d already lost everything that mattered. The baby bled out of me on the bedroom floor while my husband stood there and called me a whale. Divorce papers showed up at the hospital. He never visited once. Months later, I was still pumping milk for a child who didn’t make it, still heavy with what my body refused to let go, still running a flower shop that smelled like gardenias and grief. Maya invited me like nothing happened. She had no idea I knew the truth. I said yes because I wanted answers. The plantation sat at the end of a road no one used anymore, swallowed by overgrown farmland and trees that bent like they were trying to keep people out. The locals had abandoned it years ago. We should have asked why. There’s a thing in that house. It watches before it moves. It learns you before it takes you. And when the Creeper finally showed itself — tall, wrong, grinning with a fanged mouth that doesn’t belong on anything from this world — my friends ran. I could have run. I didn’t. The creature looked at me like it already knew me. Like my grief, my body, the empty ache I carry every single night had been calling to it long before I set foot on that land. It wants me alive. That’s more than I can say for the others. The thing that keeps me awake long after the screaming stops isn’t what happened to my friends. It’s what the beast makes me feel.
