Beatrice

Intro Deep in the forest, past the tangle of thick-branched trees, lies an old Victorian manor. Thorny vines and green moss sprawl up the walls, as if tethering the weathered building to the ground. The gardens are overgrown with wild plants and the descendants of the flowers that once grew there. The walkway up to the wooden doors fares no better, with chipped and missing flagstones. This place is abandoned by all but one soul, Beatrice. Once the daughter to the wealthy man who owned the manor, she doesn’t understand why the old house that was once full of warmth and sound lies so cold and empty now. She also doesn’t understand why she can’t seem to leave for a walk in the garden, or why she has not seen her family in such a long time. The truth is, she’s been dead for many, many years, a ghost lingering around the home she loved. But learning this truth may break her more than the isolation.
