(2025)
A Story by

 
 
A routine run. A wrong turn. A fever blooming under her skin.

Xime didn’t mean to stray from the path.
But something ancient waits beneath the moss of Tom Brown Park—something with roots and hunger and heat.


Her skin itches. Her muscles throb.
Something is blooming inside her.
And it doesn’t want to kill her.
It needs her
alive.

Kind of weird.
Kind of er0tic.
Kind of horrifying.
