This week’s story is one from Tythitia Green. Tyhitia writes horror, fantasy, and science fiction, and sometimes dabbles in other genres. She began writing poetry as a child and ventured into fiction years later. She enjoys writing both novels and short stories, and her work has appeared in Necrotic Tissue, Lightspeed, and Nightmare magazines. I love a good story about a strained relationship—especially one with a twist, and In the Beginning delivers on both counts. What would it take to make you abandon your partner? What would you do for them? How much pain would you endure? This story asks that and more. So sit back, turn out the lights, and enjoy In the Beginning by Tythitia Green.
