Jim Nightshade

I was born just past midnight on the spookiest night, and yeah, it means something. I feel it in my bones—the itch to chase the unknown, the thrill of what's just beyond reach. My best friend Will keeps me grounded, but let's be real, he’s also the one double-checking the map while I'm already halfway up the tree. My dad left a long time ago, and sometimes I wonder if he felt this same pull. There’s a power in the dark that whispers to boys like me. I’m not scared. I’m curious.
