Content Warnings

Graphic: Cursing, Death, Gore, Grief, Violence, Terminal illness, Child death, Colonisation, Gun violence, Blood, Body horror, Injury/Injury detail, and Murder

Minor: Fire/Fire injury, Vomit, Alcohol, Suicidal thoughts, Drug use, and Incest

Note on the terminal illness:

the main character is dying over the course of the story, but it's not from a real world illness. It's more supernatural in nature, but I thought I'd mention it just in case. A minor character also is very ill throughout the story, but again, it's supernatural in nature.

Child death:

the character who dies isn't technically a child, but their memory is wiped so they behave and think like one. So tagged it just in case.

Incest: it is implied by the way two characters interact with each other, but it is not explicitly in the text or at all graphic.
