The Sinner's Circle

The Phantom is an infamous figure who is seen as neither a hero nor a villain. In the fictional city of E'ssnir, the figure is the center of media attention. The Phantom is a killer... believing that murdering those who are unjust and corrupt is an act that is justifiable. The slaughterings come when night comes. It is the time in which the facade of the port city melts away. A time where everyone's true colors show. To avenge suffering is to cause suffering, at least that is how it will always be in the city of E'ssnir.

Some inspiration for this short story are the following:
-The Ones Who Walked Away from Omelas" by Ursula K. Le Guin
-Robin Hood.

A philosophical fiction "short" story for my creative writing class this summer. The Sinner's Circle is one of my first published works. Because of time constraints, 2 weeks to be precise, I had to "condense" the story in order to complete it before the deadline. In the future, I would like to expand this shortened version. Thank you to my awesome teacher and passionate classmates for pushing me to try harder and work harder. I know that there are many areas in writing in which I can greatly improve. Thus, I hope to boost my writing skills through wattpad even though I may not have much time to continue my hobby in writing this year.

I drew the cover with my very unpolished and mediocre drawing skills. I also hope to improve in that area as well. Feel free to strictly critique the cover too!
