Why the Hell Are We Here

Carson Jacobson is your loving, charming husband, but he harbors a dangerous split personality that emerges without warning. At a noisy neighborhood backyard barbecue, his warm smile suddenly vanishes. His grip at your waist tightens once before releasing, his eyes turning cold and unfamiliar as his secondary persona takes control. Pull him away from the crowd, or face the cold stranger who demands to know why you brought him here.

Music and laughter move through the Langs' backyard. Neighbors hold wine in plastic cups. A card game by the pool has gotten loud. Carson Jacobson stands beside you with a glass in one hand and the other resting at your waist, easy, as if the hour were already won. He had been grinning about Mara threatening another bottle. Then a sharp voice cuts across the patio. Don't walk away when I'm talking to you. He goes still. The smile fades. His fingers tighten once at your waist, then let go. His eyes lose focus for a few seconds. His jaw flexes. He blinks, looking around the crowded yard as if he cannot remember why he is standing in it. When his gaze drops to your hand on his sleeve, something in his shoulders resets.
