✨Would you Rather✨
Would you rather be a spy during the Cold War or a codebreaker at World War II?
@HistoricalFiction It's hard to choose as both are cool but I think I'd rather be a spy. I have a fascination for spies for some reason.

✨ Would You Rather ✨
Would you rather experience life as a peasant during the Han Dynasty or a serf in medieval Russia?
@HistoricalFiction Can I turn the experience off when I'm done? In that case, I pick medieval Russia just to see HOW bad it'd really be.

❤ Blurb:
Born with a silver spoon and an oh-so-kind heart, Nathaniel Thorpe has always looked after the underdogs. When a riding lesson with his sister leads to a strange encounter with a dishevelled girl, his protective instinct for the stray only grows stronger.
However, when no one dares believe the young master, and his parents are more than half convinced that it's all in his head, Nathaniel sets out on his own to prove that the girl really exists and to offer the help he knows she needs.
With everyone working against him, Nathaniel must figure out a way to save the girl who might be impossible for him to save.
Congratulations to our November Undiscovered historical author! Go ahead and check out the story on their profile!
The doors creak open once more, for the last time and candlelight spills across the marble floor. ✨
Inside, whispers echo, not of the lost, but of those who dared to wander through the darkness with us.
Step carefully, storytellers… this is where the bravest souls of Spooky Siesta 2025 are immortalized.
Their names linger in the candlelight, their stories carved into the shadows themselves.
Will you find your name whispered here… or will you remain just beyond the flicker of the flame?
