Daisy did not get the life she deserved. Despite her compassion, nothing she did made a difference in the world. With her through it all was her selfish, bitter husband, working a job he hated while they lived off her income as a nurse. The peace Daisy has carried in life does not follow her to the grave. A dead, bloodshot eye glowers from a dark bathroom. Below it, her deranged smile. Daisy, a mad corpse, haunts their townhouse. She’s back and intent on punishing Roger Darling for his mistreatment. Her death shook him enough to brave his faults, but this improved man does her no good now. He can try to escape into the arms of others, but at the end of the day, we all return home. To keep his new friends and maintain his sanity, Roger must help Daisy move on before her violence touches everything he’s built. She won’t leave on her own. Not for a second time.

CHRISTOPHER O’HALLORAN (he/him) is a Canadian actor-turned-author toiling away in the milk mines of beautiful British Columbia, Canada. He is the author of the novel Pushing Daisy, as well as short stories and novelettes published in numerous anthologies and magazines. His story, “Charon Swims,” earned him a Pushcart Prize Nomination in 2024. Though he's stepped away from the camera for the time being, his acting education wasn't a complete waste; he uses it to narrate the odd story as well as perform eye roll-worthy shenanigans for his wife and two children.
