The Waiting — Hunter Shea

Clinging to life, haunted by the dead.

Newlywed Cassandra Pagano lies in a state between life and death, her body fed and preserved by the machines at her side. While she struggles, unaware of the world around her, someone waits -- a boy. A phantom that appears solid, real, alive. Cassandra's husband, Brian, sees him in the house, by her bedside, running down darkened hallways. The boy walks without sound, whispers words that can't be deciphered.

Terror and tension are driving Brian to the breaking point. Why is the boy there, and what does he want with Cassandra…and her fading soul?
