Three children went into the woods and three children came out. It should have all been fine for the cousins, even if they had witnessed something... unnatural.

Only, how do you forget a monster when it's followed you home?Years later, Connie has tried to pretend that the creature never existed. She has carefully woven the narrative that it was nothing but the figment of imaginative minds.

But the monster is winning.It's two dead and one to go.Content and/or Trigger Warning: The story contains some dark themes.…
