A Novella by

 
 
In the shadowy corridors of literary brilliance, Eleanor Voss had nestled herself in anonymity. A celebrated reclusive author, her novels were mesmerizing tales of lost loves and cryptic truths, yet no one had laid eyes on her since the sudden disappearance of her only daughter, Ivy, nearly a decade ago. It was said that her latest unpublished manuscript contained a revelation about Ivy’s case—a mystery that had captured the nation’s attention but remained unsolved.

Samantha Graves was a determined journalist, known for her relentless pursuit of truth and injustice. She had been following the story of Ivy's disappearance since it first broke, but the twisting path of grief and loss led her through a maze of dead ends. When rumors surfaced that Voss’s unpublished novel could unlock hidden truths, Samantha felt a stir of hope. She was determined to track down the manuscript—if it still existed.

Samantha began her investigation at Voss’s crumbling estate, an eerie Victorian mansion overgrown with tangled vines and secrets. The local townsfolk whispered about strange happenings, citing the moonlit specters of the past that roamed the premises. In the creaking silence of the old home, she found the heavy oak door ajar, as if beckoning her to enter.
