A short novella I wrote during my sophomore year of highschool, sometime around 2019-2020. It follows the path or Mordec, a young man during the Ukrainian famine of the 1920's and his escape out of the country.

A man survives Holodomor, and is left with guilt and an illness causing him to go blind. He finds a spell that can fix his issue, but he will need to eat human flesh for the rest of his life. He find a man to be his sacrifice, but falls in love with him. What will he do?

In the winter of 1932, approximately seven and a half million Ukrainians and other citizens under Soviet influence were starved to death during a man-made famine. Some call it genocide instigated during a rise in Ukrainian nationalism. Others view it as the unfortunate result of mass-industrialization. Regardless, the death toll was catastrophic. Herein is the fictional story of two families that face the worst of the very real disaster head-on, and in the turmoil must question their leaders, their trust in each other, and their own moral guidance if they are to survive the Holodomor.

Okay so this is just a story I wrote for my GCSE English Language Creative Writing which earned me full marks which is pretty cool, hope you enjoy :)
