Mrytle Lane - IF

You had an uneventful childhood. You played when you wanted to, you laughed without a care, and you never felt the lingering need to look over your shoulder at every noise- until the summer that changed everything.

It was normal to spend the summers visiting with your grandma, who lived in a secluded neighborhood surrounded by miles and miles of woods. You looked forward to it every year. No matter how far out you went, you always had more to explore than you thought. You were 11-years old when you went for your usual visit and were attacked, you lost one of your closest friends, and no one in town believed you for what happened. You hadn't returned to the neighborhood since then, and now you're expected to come back and take care of your grandmother's long forgotten house.

Return to the neighborhood that provided you with some of your favorite memories, visit childhood friends, met the strange new family who moved in down the road, and learn what truly happened the night you were left with the scars physically and mentally that you still carried with you.

Andrew Thornton lived right next door to you and is the twin brother of your friend lost the night of the attack. He wasn't there that night, and you were forbidden from speaking to each other before your departure. Once loud, and outgoing- he is now the opposite of everything you knew. Quiet, and closed off. Andrew moved away from the neighborhood as soon as he was of age, but you two run into each other when you return to town. Find out his side of the story, and see if you two can really reconnect or if it's too late.

Harper Phillips was another member of your summer friend group, and lived towards the end of the street. She was by your side the night of the attack. She was always laughing and following the older kids, like yourself around. Now she seems to be the same as before, carefree and accepting. Wait until those brief moments of quiet hits and you can see the edges of the mask crack. Has she truly moved on, or is she just as desperate for answers as you might be?

Riley Cruz lived next door to Harper, but never wanted to hang out. Your group of 4 constantly invited them to join but they always had something to do, or somewhere to go. Assumed to just be antisocial, Riley has turned into an outgoing person who oozes self confidence, and always has a sarcastic comment waiting to be let out at any moment. Why didn't they ever want to hang out? And why do they seem so interested in you now?

Theodore Johnson moved into the neighborhood a year after the attack, and has been there since. Charming, and seemingly sincere, no one can say anything bad about him or his family. While living at the very end of the street for 10 years now, not much is known about his family. Theodore reaches out to you quickly, and seems to know details no one else should know about that night. Who is he and how does he know the things that he knows?
