Silence is Loud- A E Belle

Silence isn't empty. For April, it screams.

After the sudden death of her sister Chris, sleep becomes a place of terror. Night after night, April finds herself running through a dark forest, chased by something she cannot see but knows is there. The same nightmare in the same woods.

At first, she believes it's grief.

Until the dreams begin leaving marks behind.

A bruise shaped like a hand.

The smell of wet leaves inside the house.

A red bandana that appears after a dream.

When April discovers her sister had the same nightmares before the night she died, the line between memory, trauma, and something far more ancient begins to fracture.
