when you visit the Garden, there is a promise you must make. a sacred vow you have to take. a toll your soul must pay.

This is a short story about a girl who goes on adventure in hopes of finding a mystical garden where she will give up her former life, as dictated by her journal left by her mother. It follows her journey with a guide Angelo, and her haunting and driven inner monologue to reach the garden. Partnered with poetry about her life and mysterious odes to the garden and her feelings.
