Abstract

The story goes that kraiks are mythical bird-like creatures who taunt us, creating fear and animosity. They feast on our insecurities and whisper in our ears in moments of self-doubt, telling us we are not wanted, that we are cowards. We know that we should not listen to them, that they are “trees masquerading as monsters”, but sometimes the hateful creatures make our deepest and darkest anxieties sound like the “red-blooded truth” and, in our panic, their lies creep into our hearts.
