A couple walks along a sidewalk in front of a mustard yellow apartment building with green framed windows. The man carries a large wrapped painting while the woman pulls a small rolling suitcase. Several bicycles are parked along the railing behind them, and plants and lamps are visible through the windows above.

A mist-filled forest path stretches forward into pale, diffused light, its edges softened by fog and towering tree trunks that fade into the background. At the center of the scene rises a massive, organic structure formed from intertwined roots, branches, and vines. The structure curls inward like a frozen wave or an unfinished circle, its surface layered with tangled wood and patches of soft green moss that cling to the contours. The opening at its core is hollow and shadowed, suggesting depth without revealing what lies beyond. In the lower left foreground, a solitary figure stands facing the structure. The person is small in scale compared to the towering form, emphasizing the monumentality of the woven arch. They wear a long, dark coat and sturdy boots, with a backpack resting against their shoulders. Their posture is still and attentive, head tilted slightly upward, as if measuring the presence before them rather than preparing to move. The forest around them is hushed and sparse, with tall, straight trunks rising vertically and disappearing into the mist. The ground is uneven and damp, scattered with small stones and dark soil, subtly reflecting the muted light. No wildlife or wind is visible, reinforcing a sense of suspended time. The atmosphere is quiet and reverent. The structure feels grown rather than built, ancient rather than abandoned. The image conveys a moment of pause at the edge of the unknown, where nature itself seems to have shaped a passage and then waited to see who would notice.

A slender, human-like figure stands in profile along a moss-covered slope, partially embedded in the forest floor as if grown rather than placed. Her form appears carved from dark, weathered wood, the surface textured with fine grooves and grain that follow the curves of her body. Small leaves, vines, and moss cling to her torso and limbs, integrating her seamlessly into the surrounding greenery. From her back extend delicate, wing-like structures resembling layered bark or aged leaves, folded close and heavy with stillness rather than flight. Her head is bowed slightly, eyes closed or lowered, conveying calm introspection. A crown of wildflowers and seed heads rises from her hair, stems and blossoms reaching upward in irregular, organic patterns. The background fades into a soft, cool blur of forest light and mist, with pale illumination filtering down from above, creating a gentle halo that outlines her silhouette. The atmosphere feels hushed and reverent, as though the figure is a guardian or memory of the forest itself, caught in a moment of quiet continuity between growth, decay, and renewal.

A screenshot of Hinton Publishing's post that describes the short fiction piece. ✨ Quiet fantasy. Gentle magic. Emotional truth. This is for the ones who speak in riddles, cry over teacups, and find answers in moss. 🧚 Literary Fantasy // Mythic Realism // Contemporary Fabulism 🍄 Faeries. Talking mushrooms. Sentient leaves. 🌱 Queer identity, chronic illness, and softness—explored through magical metaphor. 💫 Less action, more intimacy. Transformation as quiet as a growing tree. 🌸 “Aches eaten by bark and burls.” 🌿 “Do you have a riddle for me?” ☕ “Put this leaf in a cup of hot water. Let it rest for five minutes.” This is Riddled: part solarpunk daydream, part glowing grief ritual, part love letter to the forest.

Riddled by Iris Andersi is written on a blue-toned image of a log with mushrooms growing out of its side.

Absolutely thrilled to announce my short fiction piece was selected for publication by Hinton Publishing!
