Soul Searching

Something lurks within the walls of the house Trevor Mathews and his best friend Merrick Taylor share. It watches them and their friends. It needs them. It knows their weaknesses. Trevor's in love with Merrick and hasn't got the nerve to tell him. Merrick's relationship is already failing, but he doesn't believe he deserves what he truly desires. And the dark presence enjoys their suffering. The entity wants to exploit them, push Merrick's boyfriend into fits of jealousy and possessiveness, encourage Trevor to avoid the man he's stood by most of his life, and frustrate their friend Tempest who's tired of knowing Trevor and Merrick are perfectly matched souls, but they're too scared to try.
The entity needs them to fight, to hurt, to scream at each other in anger and pain. It thrives on their helplessness and targets their insecurities. And it won't stop until it has devoured their joy, destroyed their hope, and eventually, shattered their souls.
