Summer Whispers

In Briar Glen the trees watch. In the fog-choked outskirts of Briar Glen, where an ancient, gnarled tree stands guard over a decaying wooden bridge: Every ten years, the red eyes of the Great Oak don't just glow—they blink. The local teenagers call it a game of "e;Red Light, Green Light,"e; believing that if you move while the eyes are open, the tree claims a piece of your shadow. But when Leo and his friends attempt the vigil under a rare blood moon, they discover the game has higher stakes. As the legendary **13th plank** appears on the bridge, Leo realizes that losing your shadow is only the beginning. Three summer stories. Teenagers see it as a chance to witness something. What they see is an invisible 13th plank that appears during a blood moon, red eyes, and the whispering ghosts that need a simple offering: a leaf. Briar Glen isn't your ordinary town. It is a whispering Glen, a summer setting. The teens give more than they wanted. Instead of taking a summer memory, it gets their reflection. The curse of this old tree is heavy. Can they get back what they lost?
