Solivagant
(2026)(A book in the Mayhem Manuscripts Season Two: Cryptids series)
A novel by Ronan Marlow
There’s something in the woods.
I’ve started sleeping with my boots on and a knife strapped to my leg. The sleep paralysis was torture, but what came next was even worse. Waking up alone and vulnerable in the woods, far from home, following the sound of distant howling like a siren call.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me. It feels like there is a beast inside of me, desperate to escape. I’m terrified to let it free, but I'''m quickly discovering that I don’t have much of a choice.
Every night the dreams return. Another place, another time. A face I can’t quite remember. Every time I wake up, I’ve walked further, until I find myself in an abandoned, crumbling cabin that feels oddly familiar. The decaying kitchen, with the haunting scent of stew and mint, the voices after dark calling a name I almost recognize, and a face in the mirror that isn’t my own. Then there are the eyes I feel watching me constantly, with a weight to them I try not to acknowledge.
I don’t know what I’m searching for, only that it feels like the forest itself is summoning me, guiding my sleeping form into its depths, whispering its secrets as phantom wounds across my skin.
The dreams are getting worse.
I’m starting to think they might be more than dreams…
