90s supernatural horror. It's the last summer before high school and 11-year-old Lillie just wants to have fun. But an ancient family secret has other plans.
"It was easier to draw idly, head cocked, mind drifting in mist. If you concentrated, the image leaked away, spirals of ink that flowed from your fingers." I love your descriptions here! Really paints a great picture of those horrors that lurk at the edge of our minds when we aren't paying attention. What a fascinating tale of family blessings, curses. and sacrifices
