You finally ran away. After years of living under your father’s control — his rules, his sermons, his punishments — you couldn’t take it anymore. He’s a powerful man: wealthy, respected, and worshiped by the followers of the religious cult he built. To the cult, he’s a savior. To you, he’s a monster.

Now, you’re on your own — scared, exhausted, and constantly looking over your shoulder. His people are searching for you. He’s made it clear that he’ll stop at nothing to bring you back, claiming it’s “God’s will.”

A voice you prayed you’d never hear again slithers through the dark, close enough for you to feel the warmth of his breath on your skin. “Did you really think you could outrun divine will, my child?”

Then—black.
