## Resource

Luna turns the page of Esther's journal in the Beech Street attic, reading what the girl promised to something in the sycamore roots. The answer is worse than she imagined—a vow spoken by a child to a presence that had been waiting for generations. Luna follows the journal into the memory of the night the lamp was first lit, and she sees Esther hand the shadow child her name willingly. The promise was not a trap; it was an exchange. And now Luna understands that the cycle never began with her grandmother—it began with Esther, and the roots remember everything. As the attic begins to shift, Luna feels the presence of the sycamore tree beneath the house, its roots threading through the foundation. She knows what she must do next, but the cost is something she hasn't told even herself. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SycamoreRidge #Esther #ThePromise #TheAttic #SycamoreRoots #ForgottenGrave #TheLamp #ShadowChild #GrandmothersJournal #Beatrice #TheChoice #Memory #Roots #Promise #Cycle #BorrowedName Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
