Black Swamp | 黑沼

A short story handed to a competition(although did not get selected for obvious reasons) It is the first story I pushed myslef to plan and complete the project through a summer.

The little boy Hao dreams to become an explorer. One day by accident he falls into a strange mysterious black swamp. There he meets his idol, the great explorer Aron Ryan, who was reported missing 8 years ago, together with the disappearance of the swamp not long after Aron went into the swamp to explore.  

Suddenly, Aron was killed by a fairy-like creature, a core took out from his body and the fairy says”Start over”.

Hao was terrified as he runs away. But not long after, he starts to get attracted by the surrondings and wanted to explore as well. so he borrowed Aron’s remainings, and tried to find out what happened to Aron, and revealing the past of the swamp.
