Perfect Little Ones

After losing fifteen years of my life, I survive by breaking into vacant homes with the help of Gwen, my only friend. Once inside, we take only what's needed to live, what won't be missed, and what will bring us one step closer to our dreams.

We have one rule: leave no trace.

But our latest target, a massive property obscured by forest, hides a secret that will change everything. It's more than either of us can handle, but it's also more than I can ignore. The more Gwen and I dig, the more evidence points to a powerful corporation exploiting children in the name of progress.

I must uncover the truth and save those victimized, but I have a secret of my own. Buried at the bottom of a well deep in my mind, it claws for its freedom. It has taken a life before and isn't finished. Hidden by rough stones and damp earth, the dark thoughts and violent urges threaten to destroy me and all I hold dear.

But I may not be able to suppress them forever.
