296 | Together

Tim and Millie are a long-time couple who move to the country for a change of pace. Before long the expected resentments and arguments start to arise, but it’s the strange cave they’re forced to spend the night in that really causes the rift between the couple. After drinking some water from a hole in the cave, Tim begins to feel powerfully physically connected to Millie, and any time their skin is touching they seem to merge together. Can they get to the bottom of this mystery before two become one?
