Wait until I fall asleep

Inspired with an article I found on the AVKF portal, I decided to create six different novel ideas, write them in the form of a blurb because I didn't make a short story in time. All of the images and short summaries of the idea were posted on my Patreon where you can find them …

Your Rain (story and critique) FREE

On the top of a cliff with its flat side turned towards the horizon, a dozen of little lights glowed in the night.
