Loveliest Lies Of All (Wirt X Male! Reader)

*this book is hella gay, and could get dark*
*also this is kind of an AU where I do whatever the hell I want, regardless of cannon*

The unknown is purgatory for lost souls. A vast bubble filled with endless forests. A place for those who died young, painfully, or suddenly. The minder of this strange reality is called the beast. He roams the land and turns the lost into trees, to keep his lamp burning.

You died quite young, quite painfully, and quite suddenly. You don't remember how but you remember the searing pain.
