sage deraven and the nightstalker

// toyhou.se folder // playlist //

in 7th-8th grade, I wrote a short story for school with the above title. we were learning about magical realism.

I wrote about a young teen plagued by a mysterious 'nightstalker', a plain metaphor for depression and self-hatred.

since then, I've developed the story's setting, added characters, and several plotlines.

it's even being moved to its own fictional reality, eulocyst.

this story means an unhealthily lot to me. other stories have come and gone, but this remains since 2015.
