The Pale Woman

The Twilight Clearing

A circular meadow deep in the woods where perpetual golden-hour light exists regardless of actual time, warm and beautiful but fundamentally wrong. The children gather here, moving with fluid grace that's almost but not quite human, their laughter echoing with harmonics that make the throat tighten.

The Whitmore Homestead

A weathered farmhouse surrounded by frozen fields that never thawed, even after the volcanic winter ended. Empty children's rooms remain untouched, preserved like shrines, while frost patterns on windows form shapes that look almost like small handprints reaching from outside.
