The Breaking: A Dark Fantasy Allegory of the War Inside the Soul

A dark fantasy novelette (about 12,000 words)

Joe is a broken man carrying the weight of the world. Alone in a remote cabin, he drops to his knees and begs God for relief, or an end. His prayer is answered in the most terrifying way possible: his very essence shatters into five beings. Joseph, the guardian of light and mercy. Gonen, the chain-wielding fighter fueled by rage. Gideon, the calm protector. Wraith, the silent killer. Abaddon, the demonic force of pure destruction. Trapped in a haunting cathedral-forest, these pieces of Joe's soul go to war. Only by purging the poison within can Joe survive.

A dark fantasy allegory about depression, codependency, and the war inside every human soul.

Content note: depression, suicidal despair, and graphic violence.
