Avoidance
By Mike Heath
Tom has been dead for 15 years. At least, that's what his sister, Michelle, thinks. Their mother has since passed away, leaving her with husband, Damian, trapped in a house haunted by memories. Damian is desperate for them to move to make a fresh start.
When Tom appears on the doorstep, hope rears its head for Michelle and presents an opportunity for Damian. But why did Tom disappear, and what has he come home to tell her? A tale of truth and hope, when all hope has been jettisoned.
