Every morning, at exactly three o’clock, icy currents slither through the gap underneath Mandy’s closet door. They crawl up her bed like glassy vines, patting down the duvet until they find her small body curled against the headboard.

She keeps her breathing steady and her body still.
But they know she’s pretending…

Isolation isn’t just silence—it’s a presence. It whispers, stalks, devours. In Alone, Black Hare Press’ latest Flash Frights anthology, some find themselves abandoned, others exiled, many trapped in grief or madness. Each story reveals a different face of solitude, where absence becomes a tormenting companion and shadows take on lives of their own.

Find my contribution to the anthology, Currents, on page 69.

Alone is available on Amazon, Kobo, Apple Books, etc.
