MESSAGE OF THE AUTHOR
Dear Reader,
Before diving into "Whispers in the Dark," I want to take a moment to acknowledge that this story contains themes that may be emotionally heavy or difficult for some. Your mental and emotional health are incredibly important, and I encourage you to prioritize your well-being above all else. Please take care when reading, and if certain themes become overwhelming, it's okay to pause, take a break, or even step away from the story.
If you're dealing with personal struggles or find yourself resonating too deeply with some of the darker elements, I want to remind you that you are not alone. There are always people, professionals, and resources ready to help and listen. You matter, and your health matters.
This story delves into complex emotions, trauma, and human darkness, but it also carries hope and resilience, just like life itself. I hope the characters and their journeys can connect with you, but more importantly, I hope you remain kind and compassionate to yourself along the way.
Thank you for joining me in this story. You are valued, appreciated, and every one of you matters to me.
With love and care,
Crystellixion
