Thinking about my silly oc world
The monster in the woods is the nicest person in this story
The priest is a shapeshifter-type creature feeding off of others. It's main prey, as of right now, is a boy named Travis. (Originally just gonna be a priest whose a horrible human being, because ykyk humans are the most terrifying of all but I couldn't think of many ways to make that interesting -_-)
The creatures aren't the only scary parts of this story. The entire town is haunted, in one way or another.
The protagonist, Copper Davies, lives in a haunted house. This house has the combined personality of him and his uncle; it's angry and selfish, but also sad and lonely. It's loud. It's scary. It's unkind. It doesn't want to be here. When there's an angry man in your house, not even your own bedroom is safe.
Travis paints because it's the only thing he can control, but what happens when that too becomes haunted? What will happen when your safe space turns into an unhealthy obsession? His hands are moving on their own now, and his paintings have become something he didn't want them to be. Why can't he control anything?
Everything is haunted because everybody here has terrible mental health ^_^
