**The Study of Quiet Things is a serialised gothic folk-horror mystery, written & narrated by Harriet Loveluck.** Sophie Hamilton's twin is missing, and the last trace of her leads to a crumbling…
Chapter 1.
Kai.
Ignorant asshats.
Kai does not believe in ghosts, nor does he believe in curses, karma, or horoscopes, though he is happy to be taken by the hand and led down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, but only if presented with quantifiable facts, like cause and effect, measurable results, reason, and rationale.
So, On reading a peer review on his latest electromagnetic fields research paper, suggesting it is a nod to flat earthers, ufologists and new world order conspiracy theorists, Kai can do nothing more than choke on his lukewarm coffee.
He stares into the space of his computer monitor as the sun, already low, disappears behind the thatched roofs of the Oxfordshire countryside.

It reads, "...an epidemiological study to determine whether there is a correlation between the act of suicide and the electromagnetic frequency environment arising from the implementation of 5G towers at the domicile of the victim." Ignorant asshats, the lot of them, Kai says, rising from his desk and following Mabel into the kitchen towards her food bowl.
