This Girl Followed a Puppy Into an Alley—Then Disappeared From Maps
Lila Hart had just finished a mystery novel when she found herself in one. The late afternoon sun washed the streets in gold as she walked home from the library, backpack swinging, book still warm in her hands. That’s when she saw the puppy. It was small, scruffy, and alone.
It glanced back at her, then disappeared into an alley she’d passed a hundred times but never entered. She followed, but what she found back there didn’t belong in her town, or on any map. A silent lot. A polished iron door. A strange symbol and a lot of whispering. That was the moment everything changed.
