The Low, Low Woods #[nn]

In the hushed, flickering dark of a forgotten theatre, El and Octavia stir awake to find themselves stranded in the middle of a movie they don’t remember starting—Sea Dogs playing on screen, the audience gone, and no memory of how they got there. Something in the silence between the reels feels wrong, and as the lights dim again, the air thickens with the weight of something watching from the shadows.

In the shadowed woods of a forgotten town, Octavia seeks the Witch’s aid to help Eldora and her dog Pearl recover from a mysterious blackout at the movie theatre. As secrets unravel and the forest itself seems to breathe, Octavia’s growing bond with Jessica deepens—until a chilling discovery forces them both to confront what lies beneath the surface of their quiet lives.
