His Only Sanity

In a town shrouded in secrets, Fiona seeks a new beginning, unaware her quiet life is about to intertwine with the chilling double life of Jax, a seemingly charming neighbor. As their connection deepens, the lines between protector and predator blur, drawing Fiona into a world of hidden darkness and unsettling truths. Will she uncover the horrifying reality before it's too late, or become another one of his 'cleansed' victims?

The scent of old paper and rain-kissed earth clung to Fiona's clothes as she stepped into the new house, a two-story haven nestled at the edge of sprawling woods. It was late, the evening sky a bruised purple, and the only sounds were the rustle of leaves and her mother’s tired sigh.

“It’s beautiful, isn’t it, sweetie?” her mother murmured, wrapping an arm around Fiona’s shoulders. Fiona nodded, her gaze drawn to the dark, whispering trees.

Later, as she hauled the last box inside, a faint shuffling sound drew her towards the woods. Curiosity overriding caution, she ventured into the deepening gloom, phone flashlight cutting a trembling path. The forest, so inviting earlier, now felt… watchful. Then, a glint of wet crimson on the ground near a tree, a stark, unsettling stain that made her heart pound.
