Heart of the Beast

The tale of Aiden Evans is one as old as time itself. Love, jealousy, and a terrible curse. After over ten years of living in the Louisiana bayou as a monstrous beast, it is time for Aiden to organize his life and put it back together.

This short story is heavily inspired by Beauty and the Beast. Set in the present day, in the American South, it flips the fairy tale on its head to follow a tortured soul on the verge of putting his life back together or letting it crumble completely.
