Beneath the trees, in shadows dim,

“Pigs” is a hidden song by #AesopRock from his 2007 album None Shall Pass. Listen to it and learn more by visiting hiddensongs.com/aesop-rock-n...

Hello to anyone who sees this! I am going to try to use this place to share my stories and ideas. Currently, I’m working on a short story where a man and a dog are led into the woods by a strange,
glowing orb. The adventure begins as he tries to make his way out of the dark forest. Cheers!
