I Am the Soil that Buries Her

When grief compels a brother to bury his sister beneath a blackthorn tree, he learns the soil's hunger is insatiable. Liora refuses silence-her voice seeps through roots, her bones sprout grotesque blooms, and her laughter taints the well. Crops twist skyward, crows deliver morbid offerings, and the earth itself claws her vengeance into reality. Desperate to repent, he digs, only to find the soil claiming him. Roots split his flesh, transforming him into a gnarled twin to the blackthorn. Now bound in a symphony of decay, brother and sister blur into the land's macabre tapestry. Villagers whisper of the recluse who vanished, wary of the new tree with throbbing, flesh-like fruit. But they'll never dig. (Horror • Dark Fantasy • Folklore-Inspired) A haunting tale of love, guilt, and the terrifying intimacy between the living and the earth that consumes them. Perfect for fans of cursed rituals, twisted sibling bonds, and nature's vengeful sentience.
