Wounds [Unedited Beta]

"This is the fourth time you've considered killing me."  Jake hunts. He eats. He sleeps. He moves. He does it again. He doesn't know how long he's been in the woods, but he knows why he's in the woods. He doesn't think about it.  Finn can read a person inside out, manage a room like he was born to lead it. But his mind feeds him the past when he needs to stay focused on the present, shows him visions of failure, of his own inadequacy when he needs to project control, confidence. They meet in the dark forest on the outskirts of Timmerfeld. They survive the night. And then keep surviving. A found-family story about broken people learning to be human again, in a world that reminds you why humans built fires and stood back to back against what lurks in the dark.  [No Stats]   [No RPG]   [No Gen-AI] Updates every Friday.
