Here

By Chad Tyler Merritt

In the summer of 1986, three boys cross the road after dark and sit on the porch of an old white house. What begins as an ordinary moment quietly opens into something they do not understand.

When Chad wakes up years later, the world no longer feels like his own. It is louder. Faster. Shaped by rules he never learned. The people he loves have moved forward in ways he cannot explain.

Searching for answers, he meets Emily. She listens. She believes him. Together, they begin to piece together what happened that night, and why time bent where it did.

But some truths come with a cost. Not everything can be changed. Some moments follow you no matter how far you go.

HERE is a quiet, character-driven novel about brotherhood, memory, and the weight of knowing what lies ahead. A story about childhood, loss, and the places that shape us long after we leave them.
