The Ferryman

||ORIGINAL|| A twist on the story of Persephone, told in the first-hand account of Charon. This short story includes eight chapters and an epilogue, which document from his experience and perspective, the events leading up to, and the aftermath, of the story we know today.

This was a short-story I wrote for class in ninth grade (2011) and have reworked over and over. A second revised edition was released in 2019. It is currently being revised once more for a third draft (2024) to be adapted for a mature audience.

Content Warning: This story is rated as Mature due to its strong sexual content and narcissistic main character. This story is narrated by a morally flawed, highly entitled character who objectifies others and exhibits possessive, self-centered behavior. His perspective is unreliable and does not reflect the author's views. Reader discretion is advised.
