A MS Paint illustration of Ariel the Waimanu in her ghost form, sitting on red rocks. Text says 'The Waimanu's Ghost.' a short story by Sarah .K

Went for a minimalist approach with this illustration for my short story, 'The Waimanu's Ghost'. Reminder that it'll be published in Suburban Witchcraft issue 11, dropping this weekend.
