Tragedy

The storm had long passed, the thunder that wasn’t thunder, the silence that followed the sirens, the blood that soaked deeper than time. No one talks about it anymore. Two brilliant detectives, gone in one night. Murdered in their own home, their deaths ruled “unsolvable” by the very force they once served. Only the twins were left behind—barely eleven, wide-eyed, frozen in the dark. Twelve years later, one twin lives questions, demands justice like a fire that never burns out. The other? Quiet. Calm. Too calm. But secrets don’t sleep forever, and vengeance comes in more than one voice. Something has started to stir again in the shadows. And this time, the silence might be deadlier than the storm.
