When the Sun Never Shines Again

At seven years old, he pulled me from the rapids—and for the eleven years that followed, I loved this man I called "Uncle."
Then Sophia appeared. She accused me of pushing her down the stairs, and Michael didn't spare me so much as a glance before throwing me out into the storm. I knocked until my hands were raw and bleeding. He never opened the door.
Three years later, he showed up at my workplace, demanding I "come home" with him. His pregnant girlfriend flaunted a twelve-week ultrasound, cooing about how the baby already "looked just like him"—then staged yet another fall, told yet another lie, let out yet another shriek, casting me once more as the heartless monster.
But this time, I won't beg.
This time, I know secrets they don't.
Because that miscarriage three years ago? That baby? That ultrasound?
None of it was real.
The question is—how much has Michael already lost, and can he see the truth before the one person who ever truly loved him is gone for good?
