Periphery by Blackyards at Inkitt

Summary

"It's perhaps a memorandum of random moments of life that flee past momentarily, those that we fail to catch, those that we fail to keep. Those that we lost forever perhaps." A shadow artist emerges, leaving behind a trail of meticulously staged macabre displays: human fragments adorned with delicate butterflies, each a horrifying 'specimen' in a sinister collection. Detective Inspector Anya Sharma, a woman haunted by her own past and a punishing career exile, finds herself drawn into this escalating nightmare. What begins as a baffling new case quickly unravels into a terrifying realization: this is not a recent spree, but the decades-long passion of a meticulous killer, whose 'garden' of victims stretches far into the past. As Anya confronts the chilling artistry of this unseen predator, she must delve back to her very first encounter with his macabre signature, an incident that subtly mirrors the unresolved shadows of her own history, forcing her to wonder if she is merely chasing a ghost, or if she too is destined to become a part of his unsettling, grand design.

// For it's just the stars and us

And the galaxies that resides in these eyes

Speaks words

Echoing through

A thousand miles \\
