This is a story about someone trapped inside an attic of a small home by a monster outside. This short story is really a piece of flash fiction that I wrote for the Writer's Digest "Your Story" contest #111 (found here: https://www.writersdigest.com/wd-competitions/your-story-111). I enjoyed what I ended up with and think I might want to expand on this into a more full-length short story or even a novel. We'll see what happens. :) I had a hard time deciding what genre to fit this in, but I decided to go with Mystery/Thriller since it is more about suspense than anything else (I kind of wish there was simply a "Suspense" option). Given the violence in this story, I have marked this as Mature. Enjoy! :)

In a world ravaged by darkness, where the sun dips into the horizon and never rises again, humanity is on the brink of extinction. The once-blue skies are now a deep, foreboding grey, and the air is thick with the stench of death and decay. Maya, a young survivor, has lost everything: her family, her home, her sense of purpose. But when she discovers a mysterious entity that feeds on fear and terror, she finds a glimmer of hope. This creature, known only as the Devour, seems to be the only one who can help her find her way through the desolate wasteland. As Maya navigates this treacherous new world, she must confront her own dark past and the monsters that lurk within. But with every step forward, she's pulled deeper into a web of terror and deceit. Will she find redemption or succumb to the very darkness she's trying to escape?
