Welcome to Imago Daze
Imago Daze is a story I have been working on since I was around 13. It's about Santiago, a necromancer whose job is to give souls a final sendoff before going to the afterlife.
Santiago is decent decent at their job, but after the death of their parent that doubles as their best friend, they're a little lost in life. It doesn't help that they've never really felt like they belonged with others. As they put it, there's "no place for me with the living."
Or so they think. Imago Daze takes place in October of 2002. This year, while traveling back to their hometown, Santiago runs into a strange English girl who is trying to run away from her mother who has supposedly turned into a demon. The encounter turns into a strange domino effect that leads to old BFFs being reunited, broken families being brought together, and the realization that being your authentic self - even if you don't like who you think you are - can change someone's life.
This whole story is my main passion project that I've put a lot of time into since 2023, when I started actively writing it. As of the summer of 2025, I have the whole first draft completed. I hope to get ID actually published as a novel one day!
For now, though, just enjoy this site and the misc things I put up here. Thanks for visiting!
