Some things should never be touched.When historian Rebecca Mitchell documents artifacts at a remote Vermont site, a moment of contact changes everything. The dreams begin that night, visits from something that wears beauty like a weapon, offering pleasure that feels like drowning in light.Each encounter costs her. Memory. Time. The boundaries of her own body. Churches and spiritual groups promise answers but only pull her deeper into dissolution.Desperate to feel real, she reaches for human connection-the only anchor back to herself. And when she discovers she can fight back, she does.But victory against the incomprehensible is never as simple as it seems.A psychological horror novella about consent, possession, and the razor's edge between transcendence and annihilation. For readers who love cosmic dread, visceral intimacy, and endings that linger.
