Aphotic:
Devoid
of light. A depth beyond comprehension.
Everything
that stands in the light
Also
has a side that stands in the darkness.
Love
is no exception.
Love
is often depicted as light, joyful, fun, exciting, carefree ...
But
there is also a darker side to love-a deeper, frightening, desperate, tragic
side.
Dare
to dive deep into this raw, emotional collection of short stories, prose, and
poems which strives to expose the lightless side of tragedy, heartbreak,
desperation, and love.
From
the love of gods and goddesses to mortals who fell in love with death to the
love forbidden between commoners. From pure sweet romance gone astray to
villains who loved the hero.
An
actress no longer acting she's in love, a phoenix whose lover gives everything
to be with her reborn, a villain who burned the world so his love could be the
hero, two immortals who give up everything to live and love, a lonely queen
whose touch turns loved ones to ice, a romantic moment re-lived and lost in
gold paint. Promises made and promises broken.
Some
fall in love.
And
some fall out.
After
all, ... all's fair in aphotic love ...
