Hiraeth

By: Travis Worden

Narrated by: Lil J. Bush

Death rarely lingers…but this time, it pauses.

When a young woman hovers on the edge of darkness, she encounters a shadow unlike any she could have foreseen—gentle yet unyielding, a figure with secrets woven deep within a veiled gaze.

An unexpected reflection beside her, offering one of countless paths through sorrow, fractured memories, and a strange, elusive solace. As she steps into the depths of her own shadows, she glimpses a world stretching far beyond loss, a place where some find something close to peace while others stumble into something far from it.

Here, mystery fills every silent turn—regrets weighted with meaning, choices that echo through time’s vastness, and the quiet pull of stories that once seemed to have ended. Yet as she walks beside this silent companion, it becomes clear they may see each other more deeply than they know themselves, and not all watching eyes are visible.

Some beings, after all, may be bound across divides far deeper than life and death, within a space where the line between savior and saved blurs—leaving only the journey forward…or back.
