I wrote this yesterday. This story is meant to be a prequel for my upcoming novel, Spawn. It tells the story of how the small town of Alleluia in northern Sweden became Hell on Earth. This story takes place ten+ years before the novel, although I haven’t yet decided its true timeline placement (it could be twenty or thirty years prior). None of the characters in this short story, however, will appear in Spawn.

UPDATE: The second draft of this story has replaced the first draft. The story is now far more continuous and slightly more meaningful. In essence, it makes good sense now. I may reach out for peer editing to complete a third draft.
