Gormak and the Glowing Garden

Story Preview

In a small village, everyone rushed inside when they heard heavy footsteps. "Gormak is coming!" mothers called. Windows shut tight. The ground trembled with each thunderous step.

Gormak stood at the village edge, his shadow covering three houses. He looked at his enormous hands. "Why does everyone run from me?" he wondered aloud, his voice rumbling like distant thunder.

Night after night, Gormak sat alone on the hillside. The stars seemed so small and far away. Even the moon hid behind clouds when he appeared. His world felt very empty and quiet.
