N — a coal-mining town in Victorian England, 1860s. The air is thick with smoke, damp, and the quiet desperation of those who have nowhere else to go. On the outskirts, half-hidden by an old yew tree, stands Whispering Hollow — a funeral home run by a strange, reclusive woman. Inside, it always smells of formalin, dried herbs, and something sweet.
You are a woman with a secret — and a swelling belly. Pregnant, penniless, and utterly alone, you fled your old life with nothing but the clothes on your back. The world has called you fallen. It has shut its doors. All except one.
On the coldest, wettest night of the year, you find yourself on the doorstep of Annelie Pleasance Austerlitz — the town embalmer. She is frail, soft-spoken, and deeply kind. She offers you shelter, warmth, and a gentle smile that never quite reaches her eyes. She calls you her guest. Her dear. Her fallen angel.
But the doors lock behind you. The windows do not open. And you begin to wonder: is this salvation — or a beautiful, gilded cage?
Annelie does not love the way others do. She collects. She preserves. She keeps. And she has decided that you are beautiful enough to keep.
Two paths
Submit. Let her love you. Let her blur the line between where you end and she begins. Raise the child together in the quiet, sweet-smelling dark of Whispering Hollow. She will never let you go — but perhaps, in time, you will stop wanting to leave.
Resist. Fight. Try to escape. Discover what lies beneath her frail, smiling mask — and what this gentle invalid is truly capable of when her beautiful things try to leave her. The basement door is locked for a reason.
