cream text on a lavender background that says: "The sparrow dragged her deeper into the cavernous castle, it pulled her into a small over grown and over blooming courtyard, 'you aren't serving the fairies are you?' she said but the sparrow pulled her along--crumbling stone statues stared as they passed by with their empty gazes, vinnes consumed their cracked bodies--and into a dilapidated tower, vines growing up the side and burying between stones." underneath there is an illustration as a stag and the title: Morsel of Flesh: a dark fable by r.t.j.tan
