LAST LIGHT

Some lights are not meant to be followed.

Kenny came to the woods to be alone.

To check his traps.
To clear his head.
To spend a few quiet days where the world made sense again.

But the forest does not stay empty.

Fog rolls in where it shouldn't.
Time bends, then breaks.
Animals move wrong.
Voices carry without sound.

And somewhere in the trees, a light appears - steady, patient, impossible.

At first, it feels like hope.
A cabin.
A way out.
A human presence waiting in the dark.

But the woods begin to close ranks, and Kenny learns a terrible truth:

Some things warn you away.
Some things hunt you.
And some things simply wait for you to choose.

As hunger, exhaustion, and fear strip him down to what remains, Kenny must decide whether survival is worth the cost of crossing a threshold that cannot be undone.

Last Light is a slow-burn psychological horror novel rooted in Appalachian isolation and folklore - a story about grief, endurance, and the danger of following what feels comforting when everything else has gone dark.

This is a standalone novel.
No rules are explained.
No answers are promised.

Only the light remains.
