Whispers on the Breeze
In a small, secluded town swallowed by the woods, Emily Turner lived alone with the silence. She was forty-three, a widow, and she had made silence into a kind of home. Five years had passed since Daniel's heart had stopped — quietly, in his sleep, with no warning and no mercy — and in those five years she had narrowed her world to the four walls of a rustic cabin overlooking a lake so still it looked like poured glass.
