This is a story about teenagers struggling to grow up, and growing up is full of choices that affect how you choose to define your character.

In a world fraying at the edges, two strangers from distant lands—each broken in their own way—are brought together by forces neither of them can understand. This story unfolds in the shadowed spaces between life and death, between despair and defiance, where fate is rewritten in the language of myth and horror. You and Me is a journey into the unknown, where our protagonists, Eoin (Pronounced Owen) and Taila, navigate a world woven with nightmares, encountering mythological horrors lurking just beyond the veil of reality. At the heart of the chaos, they discover a purpose they hadn’t sought, bound by a shared mission to confront forces older and darker than anything they've known. This is not just a tale of survival; it’s a reflection on hope, resilience, and the mysterious ties that bind us, even in the unlikeliest of circumstances. For while the creatures of myth threaten to tear apart our protagonists’ world, it is ultimately their inner demons that test their strength and loyalty. In the pages that follow, you’ll find a story that lies somewhere between a grim reality and a boundless fantasy, where myths breathe life, the past is never truly buried, and each character confronts a piece of themselves they had long hidden away. Step forward, then, into the unknown. And remember—as Eoin and Taila will come to know all too well— sometimes, the things that haunt us are what make us human.
