Fireflies That Spell Names
Fireflies over the marsh blink in letters, spelling the names of villagers who will die within the week. Panic spreads faster than the swarms. A naturalist insists it is mating patterns; a priest insists it is prophecy. Determine whether the lights are warning, curse, or coincidence—and whether silencing the insects saves lives or hides murder.
