Things Behind the Sun

These woods are dark. At night, they seem to only get darker.

Please beware of them that stare.
They'll only smile to see you while
your time away.
And once you've seen what they have been
to win the earth just won't seem worth
your night or your day.

- Nick Drake, Things Behind the Sun

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

this story will include:
two park rangers falling in love!
appalachian horror, but not in the usual way!
an exploration of sexuality amidst the chaos!
a series of murders! (past and present)
camping! gone horribly wrong!
angst, but there's a happy ending!

goals:
fleshing out the characters
fleshing out the time period more? setting too?
i also need to figure out the timeline of the murders
maybe like 15k words? some outline?
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

The aesthetic is A++.
You had me at park rangers falling in love. Then you really had me at appalachian horror.

Good luck this NaNo!! <3
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

OKAY I AM STARTING LATE SHH IGNORE IT

Day 3:

- i am thinking of redoing the whole world i have created (characters and all), but i will not jump to that right now! i'm going to continue how things are with my fingers crossed that it works out.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
