Sunday's Gone

By S.G. McNichols

Cal Mason, a guy who thought leaving town meant leaving ghosts. He's been running half his life-away from Linton, away from Brittany, away from the mess of being young with Dean. But grief's got better shoes. When Dean dies, Cal's pulled home, back to the smell of rain on clay, his mother's kitchen, and a daughter who sees more than she says.

And then Dean won't shut up. Not in memory. Not in silence. He's there-heckling, nudging, laughing-until Cal realizes the haunting isn't about death at all. It's about life: the one he never let himself have.

Through old friends, messy reunions, group therapy with a hippie Elvis impersonator, and one storm-soaked night that changes everything, Cal starts to see the truth: you don't outgrow your past-you learn how to carry it without breaking.

By the end, it's not about Dean being gone. It's about Cal finally showing up. For Brittany. For Nora. For himself.
