The Lie That Followed

By: Cox, Steven B.

Damien Reed thought moving across the country would give him the fresh start he needed.

Six months ago, his fianc e Sarah called off their wedding without explanation and disappeared from his life. Now, in a new city with a new job, Damien is determined to leave the past behind.

But the past won't let him go.

It starts with a feeling-the prickling awareness of being watched. Then the sightings: a woman who looks like Sarah in the park, outside his office, always just out of reach. When flowers arrive at work with an unsigned card, Damien can no longer deny the truth.

Sarah has followed him. And she's getting closer.

As the encounters escalate and evidence mounts, Damien installs cameras, documents everything, and reports her to the police. But Sarah shows up to the restraining order hearing calm and composed, denying everything. The order is denied.

When someone breaks into his apartment and stands over him while he sleeps-holding a knife from his kitchen-Damien finally captures the proof he needs on camera. But what the footage reveals will shatter everything he thought he knew.

Some lies destroy everything. This one was meant to.
