No. 1 - Folklore (52 short stories challenge)

TW: descripitions of violence, death, psychological horror-ish
Hellooo, I am writing 52 short stories in 52 weeks, I just changed the definition of 1 week of life to 1 week of writing (500 words a day is the minimum for it to count as a day of writing), so updates may be slow. Also, I read a short story of Edgar Allan Poe cuz he invented short stories and I wanted some inspiration and hell did I get some. My way of writing has completely changed to the better bc of him (I write in the characters voice and not the author voice anymore and my pacing is def better) and I hope to improve even more by writing these short stories. It's a short story (obvsly) about folklore in the industrial times in england. Keep that in mind while reading and thanks for reading this long description, hope you'll enjoy it!
