Drown Valley Drown

Petra and her friends cling to one last summer before the rest of their lives start. With high school behind them, and diverging futures ahead, tension taints their dwindling time together. But Petra is aimless, apathetic to passing time- she doesn’t want a future. She’d rather walk into the woods and vanish.

But one night at the lake, Petra finds a slimy humanoid bone in the muck, and suddenly she finds purpose.

She’s thrown on a path of transformation and mutation, obsessed with reassembling the skeleton of whoever- whatever the bone belonged to.

Petra might not have to figure her life out after all. The nature invading her body will decide her fate for her.
