Bite Wing - Indestructible Fractal Shadows - IFS, #1

In 1989, Dr. Lenora Pike vanished on her drive home from Savannah, her car found abandoned in the marsh with no trace of a struggle, no body, and only the faint smell of antiseptic lingering in the air.

Seven years later, Marcus Tate buys the abandoned vehicle at salvage, unaware that something still rides inside it.

A mysterious gold tooth appears in his mouth, etched with a date that predates Lenora's disappearance. The tooth pulses with pain, memory, and intention, threading Marcus back toward the sealed dental office and the life that never properly ended. As the boundary between patient and practitioner dissolves, identity itself begins to fracture under the pressure of something unfinished and alive.

Bite Wing is a quiet, atmospheric horror novella about bodily invasion, unresolved presence, and the way ordinary objects can carry more memory than the mind can safely hold. Set against the humid marshlands of coastal Georgia, the story blends psychological dread with restrained supernatural tension.

This is horror that whispers rather than screams.
