The Other One
A haunting you can't block, mute, or escape.
When Kelly Morgan wakes after her company's Christmas party, her memories of the night are a blur - and the messages on her phone are not from anyone she met.
Unknown
Don't lose me again.
I'm close.
You feel it?
A stranger named "Rick" begins sending emails, texts, and voicemails that should not be possible - not from blocked numbers, not from broken devices, not from thirty thousand feet in the air. And the closer Kelly gets to home for the holidays, the more the messages change.
They become intimate. Personal.
And they call her by a name only someone from her earliest childhood could know.
But Kelly grew up an only child. At least... that's what she was told.
When her family finally breaks their silence, a buried truth emerges: Kelly had a twin brother who died before birth. A boy she once spoke to, played with, and screamed for in the middle of the night - until doctors at Hawthorn Center erased the memories to save her mind.
Now he's back.
He's inside her house.
Inside her family.
Inside her.
And this time, he is not imaginary.
This time... he wants his life back.
A psychological horror novella of memory, grief, and possession, The Other One blends supernatural dread with technology-fueled terror - leading to a final twist that lingers long after the last page.
