a glow in the dark || valentinescontest2020
a short story written for the saint valentine's contest 2020, of glowing eyes in the dark.-an unusual love story requires an unusual form of storytelling. -chapter image and story inspiration by svnddlsnts on tumblr.content warnings for referenced domestic abuse and implied murder. this is not a fluffy love story, but it also isn't as bad as it might sound now. it was more an experiment in writing rather than the purposeful telling of a love story. a great part of it is left to the reader's own imagination. i hope you enjoy this little trip into another world nonetheless, though.
