ANKOU, KING OF THE DEAD

Synopsis

Brittany, France.
1562 A.D.
Dusk envelops the village of Morlaix as the first frigid sea-wind of winter slices through the lingering warmth of autumn. From the black soil of harvested fields, a fog rises and drifts to the cemetery at the village center.

This is a non-fiction piece, and is marked by my writing in narrative form, second-person, present tense.
