A Digital Dryad Story
A willow dryad sees beehives appear across the river and reads them as a death sentence for her grove. Alone that night with her forbidden books, Winona discovers the fear she built her life around rests on a mistranslation—and a real infection is already creeping in from the other direction.

A Short Story
Jameson doesn’t speak. He rocks in the corner with his hands over his ears, and everyone—his mother, her doctor, the camera always pointed at him—is sure they know why. The ficus in the corner knows better. It speaks to him in water and green and the smell of flowers, in a language no one else can hear. A quiet, aching piece of flash fiction from the Digital Dryad world.
