CopyCat Review

 Thunder rumbled in the distance, soft and muted. A storm was coming- but you had very little to fear.... it had been a long time. Or had it been a mere fortnight ago?Perhaps then things would have been different.  You would have had a reason to cower behind the cold metal bars, smelling the fear of the other unfortunate souls left, caught, and abandoned by whatever circumstance brought them here. Here, where sorrow clung in the air. On nights such as this, the walls rumbled and the window panes shook, rattling within time-worn frames. Mewls of distress and frustration echoing the

Scarlet Tower Review

A bead of sweat slowly trickles down wind-stung cheeks. A damp trail cuts through the layers of dirt coating your face, leaving a streaky trail in its wake. Moist earth compacts: pine needles, grass, and weeds, bits of bark pressed deep underfoot. Forging ahead, your lithe fingers wrap firmly around the hilt of your sword. Only a fool would sheathe their weapon now. Not in this darkness. Not in this forest. Not on this journey. In the darkness, the crimson smears across your blade glint in the moonlight-you’ve not had time to take proper care. No time to rest. A snapping
