A dull, worn-out seaside town trapped within a lie, the past too shameful, its secrets too cruel. A haunting ghost story, a thousand years old, chronicles one family - lost within the memories of a hidden murder, caught within the horrors of war, and trapped within their own private hell.
1012 Westin-on-the-Marsh Steven - unsteady on the barren cliff edge - grasped at the large silver cross hanging at his neck, ripping at the heavy chain he threw it out towards the heaving seas below. Reaching for the small leather book in the hidden pocket of his cassock, he turned towards the other man standing just behind."There is good and evil in all of us - whether you want to admit it or not. But sometimes the evil is not of our making - the choice, already made!" Smiling, the other man reached out for the elderly cleric. With the palm of his hand in the flat of Steven's back, he pushed gently and watched as he fell willingly towards the churning sea and hostile, jagged rocks below.

So please - be warned. If you choose to read this - it will disturb your every waking hour, and haunt your deepest dreams. It will never leave you and it will never let you leave! "Katharine A.
