Ell Huang (she/they) recently graduated with an MA in Writing from Point Loma Nazarene University and has prematurely gotten old enough to read fairy tales again, but also might soon be due for their goth phase. Their thesis Aromantic Frankenstein continues to be in the works. They co-launched Last Syllable and currently read for Whale Road Review, and have been published in Acid Bath, Aze Journal, Necro Magazine, Tealight Press, Sledgehammer Lit, and Lumiere Review, among others. When not writing, they should probably be writing. Follow @nocturnalxlight on Bluesky or check out worrydollsandfloatinglights.wordpress for their work. This piece has been previously published in Honey Literary.
