Cory and Christine were a happy, healthy, newly married couple. They bought the house of their dreams and made love all over it – that is, until they found the bodies. After that, nothing was the same.
Their house stopped feeling like a home. Day by day, they drifted further from themselves and each other. Smiles dropped from faces as the house itself seemed to drag them down.
And now, a year to the day, they’re awoken in the middle of the night by the cellar door banging away in their unfinished basement – the exact spot the bodies were once stored.
Is someone trying to get in? Or is something trying to get out?
A short story about love, passion, and fear. Read Now.
“Close the door, turn the lights off, and then maybe turn them back on for this one.” – Goodreads Review
“A steamy yet thought-provoking meditation on the role trauma plays in breaking and/or strengthening the bonds of any relationship, especially when the trauma is shared and it’s never really discussed.” – Author M.H. Altis

Author Bio:
Having once considered a full-time career in writing due to past freelance jobs and overly-kind high school teachers, Langford Shepherd decided to go a different route.
He works at a little corner store bakery during the day and writes novels and short stories at night, like a sort of Batman meets Clark Kent meets romance author mashup.
Taking inspiration from real-life tales and dreams alike, Langford weaves fantasy and reality together to form an intoxicating blend of romance, adventure, and sex.
You can find The Cellar Door, a short story, wherever eBooks are sold, and Lake Island as part of your FREE subscriber gift.
