I do not own art, all credits to MrSleepy on YT I own this writing, it is not historically accurate, and i hope enjoy it!

NOTE: Currently switching his book from 1st POV to 3rd POV. There'll definitely be some inconsistencies, especially as half of the chapter are edited and the other half not (essentially being my old writing style from late 2020 - early 2021). The Finch Curse, destining a tragic fate to those who receive it. A curse that was never self explanatory. A curse that sounded almost fake, like those stupid playground stories, like Bloody Mary. Like every school's myth of a dead kid. Except it was so much more real. It was stated like any other myth, "on one's tenth birthday, if one is to encounter a finch before midnight, one will forever be cursed." It started like some twisted retelling of Cinderella, mixed with a foolish sense of horror. But it was true. And it was cruel.
