He returns each night at the same hour. The villagers whisper. The orchard watches. And Thomas keeps his promise, though the world around him begins to question why.

In a quiet corner of post-war England, the ordinary and the uncanny blur, and one man’s routine becomes something neither he nor his neighbours can quite explain. As frost gathers and time seems to slow, the familiar becomes unsettling, and what he thought was memory may be something else entirely.

Atmospheric, haunting, and emotionally powerful, The Colour of Wilted Things is a story about the stubbornness of the past, the strange certainty of the present, and the moments that refuse to be forgotten.
