    About this ebook

    "THE FORT is a poignant portrayal of friends at a crossroads and the desires that divide them when they discover something strange in the woods. By turns lovely and horrifying, this marks an excellent debut from Alan Lastufka." - Jeremy Robert Johnson, author of Entropy in Bloom and The Loop

     

    "This is a haunting story that deals with social class, friendship, and greed. It cuts in all the best ways." - Vivian Hernandez, Goodreads

     

    Awarded an Honorable Mention (Genre Short Story) in the 89th Writer's Digest Annual Writing Competition

     

    Teenage best friends Aaron and Tim have their own hideout in the woods. It's an old reclaimed cabin nicknamed the Fort. And it just grew a new door.

     

    This 3,400-word stand-alone short story takes place within the fictional Cellar, Ohio universe.
