Three movies I wrote as novels

Contained prestige drama · supernatural drama

Until Morning

During an isolating public crisis, a recently separated man takes in an aging musician whose health is failing — while a watchful dog seems to perceive the loss approaching before anyone else will acknowledge it.

A week, maybe two. That is how long Gus is meant to stay. Then the world locks its doors, and the two weeks become a year. Sealed in his house with a dying friend, a dog that watches too closely, and a glass he is certain he can set down any time, Theo learns the true shape of caregiving — tenderness, routine, and the slow overreach of a man who cannot stop holding up what was never his to carry.

Harlow

As his wife's memory begins rewriting their shared life, an aging caregiver realizes their dog may be the only witness capable of distinguishing what happened from what the house wants them to remember.

A quiet psychological thriller about grief, obsession, and the dangerous places longing can lead. Mason navigates the aftermath of loss while Evelyn's memory slips and Harlow the dog watches what the humans cannot bear to see — neutral, uncanny, never explained.

In My Arms

After ten years as neighbors, a couple finally builds a life together — then her body begins leaving without her, and he becomes the sole witness to hours she will never remember.

Elliot married Mara after the jump, the courtship, the beach where her son decided he was staying. He took a job for insurance, not ambition. He learned the thump, talk-back, the edited hours. Love becomes repetition — the couch, the stoop, the asymmetric archive of a marriage where only one person carries what happened in the room.
