MIST - Shinso x Reader

"Dreams, after all, are insubstantial things, like mist itself..."
- Stephen King

It all began with a storm.

Nothing out of the ordinary. Storms were natural. Falling trees were natural. The mist, however? There was nothing natural about that mist.

Shinso Hitoshi lived a relatively quiet life, living with his father and kid sister in a small, rural town, right by the lake. As most artists were, he was conflicted about his path in life, but when that tree crashed through his studio window, he honestly thought it was a sign.

(L/N) (F/N). Girl next door to boot. Shinso's middle school crush, and way out of his league. So imagine his surprise when he discovers she's related to his less-than-friendly next door neighbour.

Needing supplies himself, Shinso agreed to drive the pair into town to the market, but how was he to know everything would turn upside down? Who in the world would expect something so unnatural, so disturbing, to occur?

It all began with a storm...

...and it all ended with the mist...
