Patrick Marcel

A man returns to his childhood home for a funeral and finds himself drawn to the farm at the end of the lane. Sitting by the pond he once believed was an ocean, long-buried memories begin to surface. He remembers a dead man in a car, an ancient little girl who claimed to have seen the moon being made, and a beautiful housekeeper with a monstrous, terrifying smile. He remembers dark, ancient forces being awakened that should have been left completely undisturbed. These are memories that are almost too strange to believe, lingering at the very edge of reality. This haunting, lyrical tale explores the terrifying magic of childhood, the monsters that hide in plain sight, and the incredible sacrifices made to keep us safe.
