When Mara returns to a seaside guesthouse to close it for winter, she expects damp rooms and lonely evenings. Instead, the cliff path behind the property begins answering her steps.
The Maintenance Bell
When Nora begins staying late at the museum archive, one small bell starts ringing from the service corridor after closing. At first, it sounds procedural. Then it begins arriving on floors that should already be empty.
The Service Road
When buses stop running during a week of strikes, Nora starts walking home behind the shuttered retail park. The service road seems practical at first. Then it begins changing in ways no one else remembers.
