Leave

Ash Carter survived.

Fourteen months clean, he is rebuilding his life one ordinary day at a time. Meetings. Therapy. Coffee. Gardening. Learning how to live when survival is no longer the only thing that matters.

But Ash is grieving people he cannot prove ever existed.

Mick and Karen were there when he needed them most. They spoke to him, challenged him and helped him through the darkest moments of his life.

Now Ash is beginning to see them again.

The question is no longer whether they were real.

It is why they still feel so real.

As Ash searches for answers, he must confront grief, memory and the uncomfortable possibility that understanding the people who saved him may matter less than learning how to live without them.

A deeply human psychological ghost story about recovery, loss, and the courage it sometimes takes to leave.
