On Sale: Sep 30, 2024
Genre: Death & Grief, Friendship, Inspirational, Supernatural
Format: eBook
From the creator of The Intermediaries comes a short story of loss, hope, and finding the inner strength to carry on…
At seven years old, Travis has lost his best friend. Instead of running and exploring the woods together, Luca is lying in a casket under a funeral tent in the Holy Matthew cemetery.
What happened? Travis wonders. Why are we here? Where is my friend?
The only silver lining is that Luca always enjoyed looking out of the window—toward this exact location—whenever he and Travis passed the cemetery. Luca used to call it a “peaceful” place.
Now, he’s being buried here.
But Travis is unwilling leave his friend behind so quickly. When he returns to the cemetery a few days later—alone and under the cover of darkness—what he discovers will stay with him for the rest of his life.
“I…miss you.”
“I’m here. Whenever you need me.”
