Woman standing outside a roadside hotel at night, with a broken neon sign and rain-slick pavement.
Cover of Da Capo by Tim Frank, showing a woman outside a neon-lit roadside hotel at night.

She knows where she’s going.

It’s everything else that’s getting harder to remember.

Nine hours of interstate have left her exhausted, hungry, and ready to stop anywhere with a vacancy sign.

The roadside hotel isn’t much, but it’s only for one night.

Tomorrow, she has a car to deliver to San Francisco.

At least, she thinks she does.

The longer the night goes on, the harder it becomes to separate what she remembers from what she assumes, and the more certain she becomes that something about this trip is wrong.

Da Capo is a psychological mystery about a journey where every answer seems to lead back to another question.

DA CAPO

A short story by Tim Frank

PSYCHOLOGICAL MYSTERY | SUSPENSE | ROAD NOIR

AVAILABLE IN:
eBOOK

Woman sitting on the edge of a bed in a faded 1970s tiki-style hotel room.

JUST ONE NIGHT.

A room. A few hours of sleep. Then back on the road.

That should be simple enough.

White Honda Civic driving along a wet mountain highway toward distant city lights at dawn.

SOME THINGS STILL FEEL REAL.

The car. The road. The next mile.

A few facts she can still hold onto.

Everything around them is getting harder to trust.

Rain-streaked hotel window overlooking a foggy parking lot and highway at night.

SOMETHING ISN’T LINING UP.

Names disappear. Hours blur. Familiar things arrive without explanations.

And every time she reaches for the missing pieces, they seem to move a little farther away.

Wet road at night with soft red and amber reflections fading into darkness.

A musical companion to a story about motion, memory, and the uneasy feeling that the road may be taking you somewhere you’ve already been.
