โฆ Synopsis
The first story, "Fond Memories," follows Erik and Melody as they contemplate life and love in a small motel room by the Savannah, Georgia riverside. Erik came here for a reason, but will he be able to go through with it?
The second story, "A Little Something," is a romance set on a starship headed towards Saturn. Jon and Emma have dated for quite some time. As Jon readies himself to pop the question, Emma brings news that could change their relationship and lives forever.
"The Lonely Road," the third story in this collection, is about Richardโa traveler who is stuck on a seemingly abandoned stretch of road. When a truck driver appears and offers him a ride, Richard must decide if he is willing to take this chance or wait for another car. Through his eyes, we see the thrill and terror of hitchhiking on a dark and lonely road.
In the fourth story, "The Reward," Eddie Martin and his brother Rey have just pulled off the heist of a lifetime and made off with over five hundred million in stolen art. Now, Eddie finds himself at the office of Jacob Richards, the client of this heist to claim his just reward.
The last story of this collection, "The Witch Cottage," is a tale of childhood romance, and a dark, supernatural curse. Andy and Sarah have heard the legends of the haunted house in the woods just outside of town, but neither dared to explore it alone. When Sarah asks Andy to go inside the old house with her, Andy must decide if impressing his crush is worth facing the curse.
