The Empty Seat
by Bonnie Garza
After a minor car accident, Samantha's daughter, Sophia, is no longer the sweet, joyful child she once was. She's become cold, quiet, and unnervingly strange. As Samantha tries to nurse her daughter back to health, the world around her insists on a different, more terrifying reality: that Sophia died two years ago. Now, Samantha must fight for her sanity against a truth she can't accept and protect a child that no one else can see, a child whose hunger is growing and whose presence is becoming colder by the day.
