The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain

Set during the Victorian era, this Christmas novella explores themes of memory, grief, and redemption. The protagonist, Redlaw, is a chemistry teacher haunted by his past until a phantom twin offers him the chance to forget his sorrows. However, this gift leads to unintended consequences, as his inability to remember his grief turns into anger that affects those around him. Milly, the only unaffected character, ultimately imparts the moral that remembering past wrongs is essential for forgiveness and personal growth.
