The Drowning Depths

By Filip Kolasny

Tyler Rue appears to be just another outcast to his peers and even his sister. Overlooked and burdened, he finds himself in a hauntingly familiar realm where a sequence of harrowing events challenge both his physical endurance and mental resilience. These trials push him to a precipice, forcing him to choose between life and death. As Tyler’s journey unfolds, the circumstances that brought him to this eerie crossroads emerge, offering a poignant exploration of how trauma and abuse can shape a young psyche.
