Rumple

Charlotte is rushed to the hospital with her husband, Lucas, as she goes into labor. As they navigate the hospital, Charlotte repeatedly sees a mysterious old man who appears increasingly distorted and sinister each time she encounters him. No one else can see him, so Lucas and the medical staff dismiss Charlotte’s fears as hallucinations caused by her pregnancy.

During the delivery, Charlotte's terror intensifies when the old man reveals his true, demonic form and reminds her of a pact she made as a child. As she gives birth to the first of her twins, Rumple claims the newborn, causing the baby to vanish from existence.

Writer Biography - Michaelle Lee

I'm a Seattle born, horror loving, cat mother with a logical brain that feeds my creativity and motivates me. I love storytelling; specifically, horror which resonates more with my traumatic childhood. Bits of my life and the people within can be seen within my work because I write to shine a light on a reality some of us try to act like doesn’t exist. Unfortunately, a lot of my characters suffer to really push that lesson forward.
