Rock Paper Scissors
by Feeney, Alice
Adam and Amelia Wright head to a remote, snowbound chapel in the Scottish Highlands hoping to save their crumbling marriage. It is a desperate final attempt, but the isolation of the setting quickly turns from a romantic retreat into a psychological prison. As the storm rages outside, the couple is forced to confront the secrets they have been hiding from each other for years. Alice Feeney crafts a suffocating atmosphere where the physical cold mirrors the chilling distance between husband and wife. The narrative shifts perspectives, constantly pulling the rug out from under you and making it impossible to trust anyone on the page. This is a bitter, twisty puzzle for readers who enjoy feeling off-balance and want a story that weaponizes the domestic space to create genuine dread.
