Louie’s Well

Louie’s Well

Somewhere beneath the quiet dirt of a small town, madness is waiting for Louie. Louie has spent his life trapped inside a body the world refuses to look past. Nearly six hundred pounds of flesh, shame, and the crippling isolation is taking it's toll. Every day presses down on him with the same crushing weight as the family land he can’t leave… and the old dry well he can’t stop staring into. A decaying relic tied to a tragedy no one in town talks about anymore. A place Louie believes might be his only escape. Then the well starts whispering. From the darkness below, a voice calls his name. It belongs to Ben, Louie’s brother, who is long dead. Ben speaks of what lies beneath the earth, an underworld where Thread monsters steal your memories, and hunt the exhausted punchers forced to play games that blur the line between survival and surrender. Pulled by desperation, jealousy, and a hunger to be more than the man that everyone ignores, Louie makes a choice. He hopes to find his brother, freedom from his body, a real adventure and maybe something like salvation. But the underworld is watching and nothing is what it seems. Louie’s Well is a haunting young adult psychological horror about small-town bullies, their secrets, self-betrayal, and the fragile hope that keeps us alive. Because the most dangerous monsters aren’t always hiding in the dark… and sometimes, love alone isn’t enough to save us.
