Lost Among the Forest Flowers

A dead boy wakes up in a frozen forest of myth and shadow where he does not belong. He and a few other spirits attempt to escape the accursed world they are trapped in.

A stand alone story that also works as a sequel to Constellations of Vivia!

This was originally posted on my Instagram page in daily increments as mostly single posts, forming out of daily word/phrase prompts, which I fit into each post. This version is slightly edited, but mostly I just wanted to get it up here in written format. I do have desires to polish and expand on this story, so feel free to give critique or feedback! ^_^

Disclaimer:

This story has some plot points that are heavily inspired by various mythologies/religions. I've researched Cultural Appropriation in the past and present, and it is my intent that when I am inspired by something like this that my writing does not offend or harm any beliefs of cultures it may draw inspiration from or reference to. If it does, please help me out-let me know!

What I write is only inspired. It is not meant to be seen as a true representation of any culture or belief system. If you find an inspired concept interesting, I encourage you to research more of its source.

As a human, I consider myself to always be learning how to be a better writer and person. Assuming you are also a human (maybe?), I hope that you will bring up any concerns in a respectful manner, for me as well as yourself.

Anyway, thanks for reading and being here! Onward!
