Trad Wife

Every trad wife needs a baby. Camille will get one - no matter the cost.

Camille lives to embody the perfect traditional wife—cooking, cleaning, homesteading, and documenting it all for her followers. But without a baby, her image—and her following—feels incomplete. As questions flood her comment sections, Camille’s desperation deepens.

Ignoring warnings, she enters the woods behind her farmhouse and finds a crumbling well whispered about by the neighbours. She makes a wish.

Soon, she’s haunted by vivid dreams she believes are divine. Then something visits her—something not quite angelic. Her belly swells unnaturally fast. Her cravings turn raw. And yet, her announcement goes viral.

But as Camille’s influence grows, so does the horror inside her. The life she always wanted is finally within reach… if it doesn’t consume her first.
