Breath: A Creation Myth Short Story
In the Threads of Creation, a Heart Longs to Beat
Above the cliffs where the sea meets the sky, Fauna weaves life into existence. As the Guardian of Souls, her every creation connects to her in an intricate, unseen web. Her duty is eternal, her work unmatched, and her solitude unyielding.
But one evening, a quiet moment observing her cherished albatross sparks something unexpected within her—an ache she cannot name and a longing she does not understand. For centuries, Fauna has found contentment in the rhythm of creation and communion. Now, she feels a void too vast to ignore.
With the winds at her back and her siblings whispering on the edges of existence, Fauna embarks on a journey of self-discovery. What she uncovers will challenge everything she knows about the world, her role within it, and the fragile threads that bind creation itself.
“Breath” is a lyrical and moving tale of identity, longing, and transformation. Perfect for fans of myth-inspired fantasy and deeply emotional storytelling, this short story delves into the universal need for connection and the sacrifices we make to find where we belong.
Discover a world of ethereal beauty, intricate relationships, and a Guardian whose choices may reshape the very fabric of existence.

The Skull Collector
A grieving father. A broken ritual. And a truth that was never meant to surface.
Every year, the strongest youth of the island earn the honor of reaching the Golden Island.
Every year, they die.
As the tribe’s Shaman, he alone knows the truth behind the sacred ritual. The gods do not choose the worthy. The sea does not carry them to paradise. Instead, he gathers their bones, carves their stories into skulls, and hides the evidence of a lie that has shaped generations.
It was bearable—until this year.
Because this year, his son wins.
