The Stone that Swallows

Thirteen years ago, my sister vanished in a cave, swallowed by a Native American folktale my brother believes in. I called it a lie, a cover for a human monster. Now, I've returned home to prove him wrong, to walk back into that darkness and find a rational truth. But the cave remembers us. The stories our grandmother told weren't fairytales; they were warnings. And the things that live in the deep, dark places of the earth are hungry. They've been waiting for us to come back.
