Dance Macabre

A gothic short story that chronicles an unnamed protagonist's efforts to understand what strange affliction ails their sister and reverse her steady decline. But when evidence leads the narrator to take a risky chance, they learn the true nature of their sister's condition—and are presented with a compelling offer of life beyond their imagination.
