About

She bled jealousy. The pen drank deep.

An envious author, shackled by a relentless writer's block, seeks solace in a quaint town. While wandering, she stumbles upon an eerie antique shop, where a sinister gold fountain pen entwined with black vines and a blood-red feather beckons her. The shopkeeper's warning echoes in her mind: whatever she pens will come to life, but with a malevolent twist. Ignoring the ominous caution, she buys the pen and retreats to her cabin, desperate to unleash her creativity.

But as she drafts characters, including a charming mafia don intent on wreaking havoc, the town erupts in chaos the next day, with smoke curling from burning buildings and cries of the wounded filling the air. Unsettled whispers of danger swirl around her, but she remains blind to the truth.

Consumed by jealousy, she pens gruesome fates for her rivals until the ink runs dry. Awakening to find her writing hand blackened and decaying, she learns the pen demands her essence to refill. The only escape from this nightmare? Surrendering what it desires—a horrifying price for ambition gone awry.
