The Silence That Blooms

di Steven E Hall (Autore)

Steven Hall, 2026

She wears the world's pain on her skin. He offers to take it all away. But peace has a price. Iris doesn't just feel the pain of others—she absorbs it. Every stranger's grief, every hidden heartbreak, leaves a visible scar on her body. She is a living archive of sorrow, drowning in a world too loud to bear. Then she meets Leo. In a world of constant emotional noise, he is a haven of perfect silence. With a single touch, he doesn't just soothe her pain—he erases her scars. For the first time, Iris feels light, hopeful, and whole. Leo, a gentle landscape architect who designs healing gardens, seems to be the cure she's been searching for. But as her wounds fade, so do her memories. As her body turns translucent and beautiful, her past begins to vanish. The quiet he offers feels less like peace and more like erasure. Iris soon discovers that Leo is not a healer—he is a collector. In a hidden garden beneath the city, his true masterpiece is revealed: a gallery of crystalline women, each one a silenced empath, preserved in eternal, empty calm. He doesn't heal pain; he consumes it, leaving behind beautiful, hollow vessels. Now, Iris must choose: surrender to a love that will turn her into a silent work of art, or shatter the silence—and herself—to reclaim the painful, vibrant noise of being alive. Grief Eater 7 is a haunting tale of empathy, sacrifice, and the dangerous allure of quiet. It asks: What would you give up to be free of pain? And what remains of you when all the noise is gone? With a special preview of the next story: The Weight of Names, following Elara—a woman emptied of feeling—as she walks into towns haunted by hungers that are more than memory.
