Raw Material The Cannibal In You

Alan Ward hasn’t written in eighteen months. In a remote cabin in Blackwood Hollow, the words finally return—too fast, too certain, as if remembered. Then the boundary breaks: knocks arrive exactly when he types them, sentences rewrite themselves, pronouns shift from her to you, and the cursor moves like a living pulse. Time stops at 10:13. Weeks later, a search party finds no body—only a cabin that feels paused mid-breath, scratches in the walls like frantic syntax, and the sense that the story is waiting for a new hand to continue the sentence.
