Keep the Ghost
Death is something the living endure. Kayla wants to escape hers, and you're supposed to help. But when her plan goes sideways and she disappears, you're left to navigate a world of hidden truths, suspicious characters, and the terrifying possibility that your friend is truly gone. In the strange, industrial landscape of South Texas, you must uncover what happened to Kayla, even if it means facing secrets she wanted to keep buried forever.
The damp wind off the Gulf of Mexico whips around you, carrying the scent of salt and rain. The sky is a bruised, dark blue as dawn struggles to break through the wet clouds. Beside you, Kayla stands squinting at her phone, clutching it like a lifeline. Waves lap at her pink water shoes, cold and insistent.
"You don't have to do this," you tell her, for what feels like the hundredth time. "A lot of people are going to miss you."
She doesn't look up. "Yeah, well, I'm not one of them." Her thumbs twitch over the screen. This is it. The plan. The one you helped set in motion after finding the duffel bag of money. The one where Kayla McPherson fakes her own death.
Now, you just have to help her siphon the gas.
