Welcome! If you’re new to my work, this page is a good place to begin.

Eye of the Wood: A Dark Fantasy Horror Short Story

There are stories of where the living darkness came from, stories that must be memorized by every child in Empty’s village. Every year, the village must send people through the deadly darkness, to collect a sacred fruit that shields their homes from the grasp of the encroaching shadow. This cycle it’s Empty’s turn, and he might just be his people’s only hope to survive another year.

Eye of the wood is a chilling, mythic tale of sacrifice, survival, and the cost of holding light in a world that wants to consume it.
