He wasn't supposed to see him again.

In this Episode of Campfire Tales, a familiar face returns-but something isn't right. Art meets a person from his past...and what he experiences is something very unsettling.

Because sometimes, what comes back isn't who you remember.

If someone you loved came back...but felt off...would you trust them? In this second episode of Campfire Tales, there is a haunting reunion that blurs the line between memory, and something much darker.

From the romantic thriller, The Choice by Wendy M. Kok
