A story featuring HipHugger's witch character, Abigail Williams.
Ansel has spent his academic life chasing down shadows of the infamous Salem Witch Trials. One particular shadow has kept him searching: what became of Abigail Williams, the primary character in the tragedy, after the trial concluded?
Historically, the young woman's life was a mystery, but in his research, Ansel has found records, tantalizing him with the hope for answers that have remained hidden for centuries. Following these tempting hopes, he finds himself in a rural part of Massachusetts. A little guidance from a local shopkeeper clues Ansel to an abandoned farm. Regarded as a something of a strange place with an even stranger history.
It's too perfect a place for Ansel to leave unexplored. So he sets off, hoping to find some scrap of history. Instead, he finds himself pulled into an unearthly and beyond human force. Reaching out of history. For him.
I had a LOT of fun writing this one. The character, the world building, the set up. Seriously, this was just a delight, and I hope you all enjoy reading it just as much!

Loved it, great fear and descriptions
One thing I'd maybe give feedback on, you mention wanting him body and soul, which I loved being teased with... what is she doing with his soul, is he still conscious and tormented etc... but didnt quite get to find out. I might be greedy but I did want to know more ;)
Awesome story though

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it.
The implication is that she is using him to fuel her own life. Essentially, his soul, his energy is being absorbed into her. Taking away the time he might have lived and making it her's instead.
