Sweetest Rot
Michael and Laura count kills, trade insults, and trust each other to survive whatever the forest throws at them. After their latest battle, they retreat into a cave and let their guard down. There are bones beneath their feet. The ground moves. Neither wants to be the first to stop. They have always turned danger into a private contest. But something in the darkness is learning their rules, and every warning they ignore gives it more control. Soon, holding on to each other may mean letting everything else go.
