The Orchard Pact: Some things aren't buried. They're offered.

By Charlie-Marie Hansen

A quiet fantasy about memory, silence, and the names we're not supposed to say.

May Callahan never planned to return to the town that forgot her. But when her mother disappears, she finds herself back in her grandmother's creaking house-perched beside an orchard wrapped in red thread and brimming with secrets no one will speak aloud.

Everyone leaves offerings at the trees.
No one talks about why.

When May refuses to follow the ritual, strange things begin to happen-missing time, burned names, and dreams that don't belong to her. The orchard is watching. And remembering.

As old faces vanish from memory and something ancient begins to stir beneath the roots, May must unravel the quiet pact that has held the town in its grip for generations.

Because the orchard doesn't want blood.

It wants identity.
