the funeral calls

Seventeen voicemails. Seventeen chances to turn away. But Acia listens. The morning after burying her mother, a stranger’s voice begins speaking secrets only she could know. With every message, her grief warps into something sharper, until the seventeenth voicemail reveals the unbearable truth: the voice is her own, from a future she cannot escape. And the crime she is mourning is one she committed herself.
