A withdrawn teenager trapped in a nightmarish version of his school must decide whether surviving the system means becoming part of its cruelty.
Seventeen-year-old Taliesin is on the brink of adulthood, and his connection to the world feels tenuous. He has no friends, his teachers despise him, and at home his parents use him as ammunition in their endless war with one another. The fabric of his reality begins to fray under the pressure: a smile that lingers too long, colors draining from the walls. After being pulled into a nightmare version of his school, Taliesin must make a sacrifice in order to escape.
M. Quinten O’Neill writes speculative fiction, literary horror, and mythic fantasy. He lives in California with his family.
