Lost Hearts

"Lost Hearts" draws readers into Aswarby Hall, where twelve-year-old orphan Stephen Elliott arrives to live with his reclusive cousin, Mr Abney, a scholar of ancient pagan rituals. Mr Abney's warmth seems genuine — until Stephen begins noticing strange scratch marks, unsettling dreams, and the ghostly figures of two children haunting the moonlit grounds. As the spring equinox draws near and Mr Abney requests a late-night meeting, a dread slowly tightens around Stephen's understanding of why, exactly, his cousin was so eager to take him in.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
