A Last Letter for my Stargazer

My eyes snapped open, a raw scream tearing from my throat.

It wasn't a dream; it was the horrifying reality I'd already lived: Emily's agonizing death.

But now, miraculously, I was back.

Back to that very morning, with one mission: stop the tragedy fueled by a letter.

Emily's letter, meant as a desperate survival guide for us in her absence, was turning into a death warrant in the wrong hands.

I knew its true, terrifying purpose, and I desperately tried to intercept it before my family could find it.

But fate, it seemed, had other, crueler plans.

My brother-in-law, Mark, found it first.

Then my fiancé, David.

And finally, my own younger brother, Kevin.

Ignorant to Emily's true meaning, they twisted her protective warning into a terrifying prophecy of doom, unleashing their worst fears.
