Fellchaser

n.
a long-forgotten mistake from your past that could reappear at any time and rip your life apart, like a boomerang you tossed away years ago that’s only just now looping back around, which you’d have no idea how to handle because you have no idea what it is.

From fell, to cause to fall by delivering a blow + molechaser, a low swooping throw of a boomerang.
