Dear readers, as I dreamt up the idea of the "lacken" I imagined a beast sort of like an octopus or squid that lived in the mud holes of the forest. I thought of a beast with bulbous pale eyes and sharp barbs on its tentacles and added it as a way of making the forest feel more grounded and alive, as well as the many other creatures I put there. I hope you enjoy it! (And, as always, feel free to tell me what you think of it, good and bad) I will continue to post more chapters, and, eventually, the whole novel. - Hazel Jesus loves you! All glory to God!
