Taleria's Notes
Hello everyone!This is a translated novel. I do not own the original content—I simply love reading and wanted to share that passion with others. I've translated and rewritten parts of it to make the reading experience more enjoyable. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I did working on it!
This was a short horror story I did for my creative writing class not too long ago. The limit was two pages. I know it's not very good, especially since I started it the day it was supposed to be due. Also, I took a lot of inspiration from Juni Ito's Tomie (since I had to have it completed by fourth period and I was in a rush). But I just wanted to share it here just because.
Also I read it to my class because we had to and I was sorta proud of it and I barely got compliments. I still didn't really get over that... Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
He Who Dies By The Blade, Verily Shall Live In Chains
A phantom of vengeance, a ghost of war, such titles would be befitting to Letifer Mourse. Denied peace in death, Letifer is damned to walk the living plane, until vengeance is wrought unto those who defiled him, and although he seeks no such thing, it seems his vengeance may very well seek him. In the wake of a dastardly necrotic plague, the fanatical designs of a maddened zealot, and a war of the undead nearly a century in the making, Letifer finds himself condemned not only to endure the land of the living, but to face the undead that would stain it...
Pris Parker and the Door County Ghost is a work of historical fiction. Most of the action takes place in or around Jacksonport, in Door County, Wisconsin. The time period is the calendar year 1918, during the last phase of World War I. Woodrow Wilson was President.
Trouble is brewing in the usually quiet village of Jacksonport. Big trouble. Misfortune, mayhem, and thievery.
