"would that i, devil am i, made so as not to cry in the wailing of soil?
devil am i,
destined to pry decaying hands of the
wrought and coiled?
the howling hymn of her grievances mourning,
soiled love by the free,
"call on me, sweet lover in me, the temptress of man's calamity"
she cries the diatribe
of unshakable pride in which: creation lies in the heart of the indivine
'fie! god is dead and love is real'
the howl of your temptress did reveal."
The hymn of Eyre:
The story of a young woman named Eyre who lives in a tight and hyper religious town set in the 1920s.. Centering around her struggle with Nihilism and her breaking away from her abusive occultist upbringing..
Set in motion upon her secret and tender friend ship with a Native American woman, a Moonshiner during prohibition, the relationship with the foreign "criminal" breaks her out of her communitarian imposes shackles, showing her for the first time what its like to feel genuine love.. until it all changes:
As a physical beast in the woods that mirrors her intrusive thoughts comes to life, it threatens the life of the person she loves and guards the people she so desperately tries to break free from.
The emergence of a beast of which fights to survive as humanity fights to live. The parasitic death of infancy and the decaying old. The ebb of what's left of them and their transcendence into writhing martyrs of God.
And her dissension from them.
The hymn of Eyre as she cries the power of knowing

*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."Complete

When Lila, a young woman burdened by the weight of never quite belonging, stumbles into this otherworldly realm, she discovers a land unlike anything she has ever known-where trees whisper secrets, gears hum with forgotten songs, and the moon watches with a knowing gaze. The Hollow Woods are alive, pulsing with ancient magic both beautiful and terrifying. At its heart lies the Whispering Gears, an ancient, broken machine whose purpose is tied to the land's delicate balance. Guarded by creatures of wonder and menace-among them the eerie and majestic Clockwork Wolves-the machine's restoration is the only hope for the Hollow Woods' survival. Lila soon learns she is more than a lost wanderer. She is the child of prophecy, bound to the destiny of the Hollow Woods by threads of magic older than time. As she forges an uneasy alliance with Thorne, a cunning and enigmatic fox spirit, and navigates the complexities of a realm where the lines between ally and enemy blur, Lila discovers her latent power and the truth of her place in this forgotten world. But all is not as it seems. Beneath the forest floor lies a darkness stirring-an ancient, unleashed force that threatens to devour everything. To save the Hollow Woods, Lila must confront her deepest fears, untangle the riddles of the Whispering Gears, and unlock the secrets of the Clockwork Wolves, whose loyalty may come at a perilous price. As the Silver Moon rises and time runs short, Lila must decide: will she embrace her destiny and restore the balance, or let the Hollow Woods-and herself-be consumed by the encroaching shadow?

She whispered, more to herself than to me. "I know." "Sleep over but with no sex?" "No sex." I confirmed. She pursed her lips together and clenched her hands on the sides of the cabinet. Her eyes flitted over to the remains of two lines of ket. There was still a dusting of powder on the side. "Fine." One word. It was a miracle. I was certain she'd say no, but I'd wanted to try anyway. "No one can know." She reaffirmed. But as soon as those words were out she scraped the remaining powder onto her finger pads and snorted it. *** Cassie Moore is a walking mystery, but the ghosts of her childhood are neither glamorous nor intriguing.
