When a woman vanishes, most people look for answers.
Samantha Leary looks for patterns.
A missing wife. A warning delivered in the rain. A hotel room that feels more like a waypoint than a destination. As Samantha follows the quiet trail left behind, she uncovers a story of control disguised as love—and a woman trying to escape a life that refuses to let her go.
Each step draws Samantha deeper into a world where fear is normalized, silence is enforced, and disappearance isn’t always an accident. When the truth fractures instead of revealing itself, Samantha is left with what she knows best: not every story ends with rescue, and not every danger announces itself.
A chilling psychological short story from the world of Samantha Leary, about obsession, control, and the cost of trying to leave.
