In the Still of the Mire

A reclusive woman in a forgotten swamp town begins receiving letters from her sister—who vanished two decades ago without a trace. The letters, aged and damp but unmistakably recent, draw her deeper into the mire, where ghosts linger, secrets fester, and time flows like fog on still water.

The envelope was damp when it slid beneath the front door.
Just past midnight, when the moss dripped and the frogs held their breath between
chirps, it came with no footsteps, no sound of delivery—only the soft rasp of old paper
dragged across warped floorboards. June Everell didn’t hear it at first. She was in the
back room of the shotgun house, untangling the remains of a fishing net she hadn’t
used in three years.
