Wandering Relics (Audiobook) | Chapter 3: The House Where the Oak Leaves Fall

"Have you ever wondered where the wandering relics of our shattered memories will lead us, deep within the misty shroud of the 1930s?"

Welcome back to the hauntingly beautiful journey of Wandering Relics by Sam Anthos.

In Chapter 3, "The House Where the Oak Leaves Fall," our protagonist steps away from the bleak northern countryside orphanage that sheltered them for eighteen nameless years. Leaving behind the clay roads, whispering pines, and the melancholic wisdom of the Headmistress, a yellow bus carries them toward a new dawn. Awakening to church bells and sea winds, they find comfort in Mrs. Ann’s cozy attic room and a warm bowl of bilberry porridge. It is a chapter of quiet transitions, profound reflections, and the rekindling of courage as a new path unfolds at a town square café.

A man burning with fever. A shadow on the wall. A ghost — or a malfunctioning mind?
