Listen, children ... listen!

"Listen, children ... listen!" by Wallace West is a horror story that explores the dark side of grief and its impact on a family. Set in a rural landscape, the story centers on a young boy and his sister who are grappling with both the death of their father and the unsettling presence of their grandmother, Maw. Maw, lost in her own sorrow and desperately hoping for the return of her deceased husband, slowly descends into madness, dragging the children into her nightmarish world. She becomes obsessed with listening for his return and talking to her reflection, blurring the line between reality and delusion. This reflects the impact of grief on mental health, the terror of familial loss, and the reliance on fragile memories, culminating in a horrifying revelation.
