My Labyrinth

A city boy, caught in a storm and injured, stumbled upon a cabin deep in the woods. Inside, a peaceful fire burned. A chair rocked back and forth. Safety from the storm… or so it seemed. When Oliver opened the wrong door, the cabin opened back. 
 

Some doors should never be opened.

Jake survived the crash that killed his brother, and now every breath feels like theft. At home, grief curdles into cruelty, and the people who should protect him treat him like the mistake that lived. When a new girl at school sees straight through his silence, she offers something Jake hasn't felt in weeks: a way out. But the harder he reached for relief, the farther away it felt. 

Exhausted from another long shift, Nurse Alice only wants to help her patient. But when the hospital’s regular elevator is out of service, she’s forced to take the old one, a relic that creaks and groans as it carries her into the unknown.

And in the back of her mind, she can still hear the warning whispered to her by her patient.

Don’t get lost.

Hannah is good at keeping order, snacks, songs, and small hands safe, until a new child's first day arrives with a warning that feels more like a demand. But the less special she treats him, the more the child's mother's words echo in her head: Take care of Matthew. As the classroom routine starts to fray, Hannah realizes attention isn't kindness anymore; it's survival. 

Some promises don't let you go.

Austin wakes to a blaring alarm and a town too quiet to be normal. The same morning keeps snapping back into place, and something he can’t name keeps watching from mirrors, windows, and shadows. The more he fights to stay in control, the more his reality frays, and his loved ones become collateral in a game he can’t understand. When the day resets again, the question isn’t how to escape… it’s what it wants him to do.
