Code, Curses, and the Light That Stayed On: Three Minds. Three Hauntings. One Truth Wired Into Grief.

By Caleb Dean Rivers

What if the system wasn't broken... but remembering?

A brilliant engineer watches her own thoughts unravel as she tests a revolutionary neural patch-only to discover the program may be rewriting more than her memory. A woman who crashes funerals for peace crosses paths with a stranger who shares her obsession... and might share something much darker. And on a windswept island where the dead whisper through fog, a grieving widow and a skeptic journalist awaken something in a lighthouse that was never supposed to shine again.

Three stories. Each haunted by loss, longing, and echoes that refuse to fade. Whether powered by code, cursed by past lives, or fueled by sorrow itself, the forces at work are relentless-and deeply personal.

Told with a twist of gothic surrealism, technological terror, and emotional dread, this trio explores what it means to be haunted not by ghosts... but by the pieces of ourselves we left behind.
