The Brine
The Brine (From the short story collection titled Things Left In The Dark)
By M. T. Maliha and narrated by Tracy Collier
A flickering TV screen. Deadly newsprint. A father drowning in visions that aren't real.
Armed with nothing but an unyielding loyalty, she refuses to run or hide while guarding him from terrors she cannot see.
She knows that sometimes glee is just hatred wearing a smile, and she knows exactly when the real danger has walked through the door. The Brine is a deeply moving, suspenseful tale of a child's profound love, the heavy weight of loyalty, and the keen intuition of an innocent heart.
