‘The Candles Are Burning’ is an adult fantasy short story with a paranormal vibe. Set in Savannah, a woman must make a deal with Death to get back to her daughter.
I love stories that have death as a sentient character. This was really cool, I had a good time and I really enjoyed the narration.
“The only people who were truly dead were those who had been forgotten.”
