There are moments when everything stops.
A breath. A heartbeat.
Even when it feels like an ending, it isn’t. It’s not a beginning either. It’s something narrower, a precise point in time. It’s a transition, a reconfiguration. The space between one pulse and the next. The point where one part of your life collapses inward and converges with the one to come.
That’s what happens to me the day I’m taken. Turns out, being Cason Bellrose comes with consequences no one bothered to mention.
But then the man who stole me is ripped away. Reese Morgan. His name still tastes like something unfinished.
Years later, I’m still chasing truth, closure, tearing through shadows that don’t want to be found. Whatever will help me move on. And the deeper I go, the more I become tangled in things I don’t understand.
Life changes people. But so does death.
If there’s something waiting for me in the dark, I’ll find it. Even if it means stepping into that space between one pulse and the next.
And not coming back the same.
