A haunting allegory of generational burden and masculine duty. "The Yoke" uses mythic imagery to personify abstract concepts—Expectation, Legacy, Sacrifice—without losing emotional accessibility. The prose is elegant and spare, leaning into Biblical cadence and grim inevitability.

Drawn from: "Tales of Folk & Fairies" by Shane Caraway, a collection of 62 original folktales for the modern age, available now at https://www.MuninnPublishing.com/product/tales-of-folk-and-fairies/
