The Echo in the Static

The Echo in the Static

by Morgan Vance

Ash thought the worst part of managing a rundown arcade was the sticky floors and screaming kids. He was wrong. An old shadow called Frank stalks the laser tag arena, and a little girl's voice mimics his coworkers to lure him into the dark. But the ghosts of 'The Pit' are just an appetizer. Ash carries his own demon, a consequence of a teenage mistake, and it's using the arcade's dark energy to grow stronger. Now, the haunting is bleeding into the real world, following his friends home and whispering his name in his own voice. He can quit his job, but he can't outrun the echo in the static.
