The Birthday After You Died

Every night, a lonely ghost waits in an abandoned house. He plays his melancholy melodies for curious visitors, watches them flee in terror, and returns to the silence he's called home for years. Until one visitor stays. A stranger arrives with old newspapers, impossible questions, and knowledge of a tragedy Julian Brody has spent years trying to forget. As the night unfolds, memories buried beneath guilt and grief begin to surface. A house fire. A brother lost. A birthday that never truly ended. But some ghosts aren't haunting houses. Sometimes they're haunting themselves. As midnight approaches, Julian must confront the truth about the night that destroyed his family-and decide whether he wants to keep living in the ruins of the past. A psychological story about grief, survivor's guilt, memory, and the difficult choice to keep living after loss.
