Wayward's Travelers
I have created a collection of fantasy-based short stories/vignettes. They are four stories that could stand alone from each other but are also connected through one fantasy world and recurring phenomenons that are unique to that world. The collection is called Wayward’s Travelers. In this generally medieval based fantasy world, a land called Wayward exists that curses people. When they are cursed they must find a prophet and then head to Wayward and form a group to enter and remove their curses. The cursed people who enter are called travelers. Each of the four stories deals with characters who are in their own unique situations within this world when they get cursed. Through each character and story, we learn more about the world and how people live with and react to this unique phenomenon.
