The Missing Steps at Coldwater Chapel

A man named Eli Nash returns to his hometown of Coldwater, Kentucky, in the winter of 1984 to bury his mother. The chapel where the service is held has seventeen steps leading up to the front door — but Eli remembers eighteen. No one else notices, not the groundskeeper who has worked there for thirty years, not the elderly parishioners who have climbed those steps every Sunday since they were children. Eli measures, he counts, he traces the foundation with his hands. The eighteenth step is simply gone. And the sound that comes from where it used to be — a wet, ticking sound, like something breathing through a mouthful of gravel — begins to follow him home. Luna tells the story of a man who counted too carefully, and a town that refused to see what was missing. #ColdwaterChapel #EliNash #MissingStep #KentuckyWinter #SeventeenSteps #FoundationShift #WetBreathing #Groundskeeper #Parishioners #GravelSound #Counting #Memory #Grief #SmallTownHorror #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Anthology #QuietThings Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
