A dark fairy tale about traps, lures and falling for shadows.
Aydan is set on having his new transport business to succeed and decides to risk taking on an old but faster road to gain extra time for his deliveries, but when he sees an eldritch horror made of shadows by the side of the old road, he expects the creature to be less charming as it tries to trick him with deceitful traps and lure him into an ancient deadly forest that feeds on the blood, the flesh and the greed of the wicked.
Even though danger is a constant presence lingering beneath the shades of Redwood's trees, Aydan keeps coming back to the borders of the forest where the creature made of shadows eagerly awaits for his return.
After many deceptive lures pulling the unlikely pair together, a last snare will be spun to tie them up for good and Redwood will show them both that no one can escape what its pulsing dark red heart desires.

Afterlife by Hailee Steinfeld
"Red eyes, like the smoke we rise
As the candle's burning low
Trust me in whatever you like
Are you playing with me?
Every time your name, it leaves my lips
Running still like words left unsaid
Fire in my veins dream deeply love
Remind me I'm alive
Will you love me when my heartbeat stops?
When my heartbeat stops, will you stay mine?
Will you promise me you'll search for us?
Will you find me afterlife?
Oh, for better or for worse
Will death be our last kiss, my love?
Will you promise me you'll search for us?
Will you find me afterlife?
My ear is buzzing
Oh, I'm trapped, no one's coming
Immortality is bliss
You put me down, then put me on a pedestal
Now that I'm gone you're gonna miss me
Candles burning
Will you find? Will you find me afterlife?
Oh, afterlife, the afterlife
Will you love me in the afterlife?
Afterlife"
