Making Monsters

A dark fantasy short story by Nikki McCormack

Shai has no future to look forward to. Her parents are gone. Her brother cares for her, but not enough to stand up to the leader of their little band. Not when it comes to keeping the older boy's hands off Shai and not now when he plans to involve them all in a dangerous heist.

When the heist goes terribly wrong, Shai will pay the price. Only this time, what promised to be a tragic end offers a chance at revenge, but only if she's willing to abandon her humanity.
