Ties That Bind

THE TIES THAT BIND is a gripping collection of four short stories that blend horror, desires, realism, curiosity, and bizarre abnormalities with everyday life. As events unfold into something unforgettable, unexplained events begin to transcend the normalcy of modern-day life. TRY NOT TO BLINK is the story of Max, a teenager suffering from a rare eye condition who has the chance to restore her vision with an experimental procedure. But when an unusual side effect turns a brilliant plan into something far more sinister, the final dose has already been administered, and there's no turning back. THE TIES THAT BIND is a chilling supernatural account about Charles Sherwood, a flawed jeweler with a disintegrating reputation. Once respected as a pillar of his community, he bargains with loan sharks to overcome his financial burden and save his shop from bankruptcy. As time runs out, he faces a crossroads with a conflicted conscience and is forced to make an eerie life-altering decision. In FIGHTING THE CURRENT, Sloane, a teenager, sets out to go fishing in remembrance of his late father's birthday. As he prepares to leave, everything that could go wrong does. With nature blocking his path, the day seems hopeless. A relentless thunderstorm, a broken umbrella, and an absent friend push him to the brink. While trying to reconnect with his father, he's greeted by an unexpected presence that he didn't plan for. Lastly, THE WASH is a lighter tale of two small-town sisters, Rachel and Zoe, who are headed to the laundromat. As these strong female leads poke fun at each other, their differences lead to disagreements. While doing the laundry, they try to come to an understanding of responsibilities. As Zoe learns of a distant memory, her past creates an appreciation for the little things in this feel-good moment.
