Bone Ash

Deep in the uncharted Peruvian jungle, anthropologist Reuben Voss crosses a line that was never meant to be disturbed. He returns from the expedition with a sample of sacred ash, dismissing ancient warnings as superstition. But what begins as academic curiosity spirals into a haunting descent, as Reuben’s body betrays him—and something buried long ago begins to awaken.
Whispers in forgotten dialects. Dreams etched in bone. A pulse that no scan can detect. As his grip on reality dissolves, Reuben must confront the terrible truth: the ashes weren't remains. They were restraints.
As the boundaries between memory, myth, and identity begin to dissolve, a chilling revelation waits in the silence. Reuben’s search for redemption becomes a desperate fight for containment—not just of the thing he brought home, but of himself.
Some knowledge should never be uncovered. Some names should never be spoken.
What if the thing you buried wasn’t dead—just waiting for you to remember it?
