I Created a Monster Within

By Gary Devon Dotson

After their parents' brutal deaths, Stacey becomes the sole guardian of her twelve-year-old brother Joey, holding together a fragile life inside a house thick with silence and secrets. Joey hides behind cameras and walkie-talkies, trying to capture a world that no longer feels safe, while Stacey clings to control locking doors, watching shadows, and trusting no one. But when unsettling events begin to blur grief and reality, Stacey fears the truth she's avoided: some monsters don't come from outside the house.

A desperate escape to a remote mountain cabin turns into a fight for survival as the past closes in and danger reveals itself in human form. To protect her brother, Stacey must face an impossible choice hold onto who she was, or become something darker. Because sometimes, the only way to stop a monster... is to become one.
