House Of Witnesses

Clara Roberts has always known how to behave.

In her home, silence is expected, obedience is normal, and everything exists exactly as it should. Nothing is out of place. Nothing is questioned. Her older sister, Rosalie, has already learned the rules.

Clara is still trying.

But lately, something feels… wrong.

It starts with small things; sounds that don’t belong, rooms that feel unfamiliar, the quiet, persistent sense that she is not alone. No one else seems to notice. Not her family. Not her teachers. Not even the church that prides itself on certainty and control.

Everything remains calm. Ordered. Untouched.

So why does it feel like something is being hidden?

As Clara begins to pay closer attention, the cracks start to show. The world around her is not as perfect as it seems, and the more she sees, the more dangerous her curiosity becomes. In a place where silence is enforced and truth is carefully controlled, noticing too much is a risk no one is meant to take.

But Clara can’t stop looking.

And what she’s beginning to uncover may not just change her home, but everything she thought she understood about it. Because some truths are buried for a reason.

And some things were never meant to be witnessed.
