The Case File
A crematorium chapel in an unremarkable town. Five funerals, five stories nobody in the room actually knows.
Townley Crematorium holds a funeral most weeks, and almost nobody in the pews knows who they're really mourning. Epilogue-Agog follows five of those services in a row — each opening with the same line, "nobody really knew…" — and each one hiding something stranger than the eulogy lets on.
By the time the last funeral is over, who will be left standing in Townley?
Built as a five-part noir anthology in the vein of interlocking crimes and dystopian irony, recommended for teen readers and up. The full story, and the reasoning behind it, starts with the author's own preface in the companion file sampler below.
