Wow. Harrowing - I quite enjoyed how you brought us from a very contemporary setting and situation into something so fantastical but still possible. This is horror but its also right there as a crime story, the character of Dylan is at once rooted in the fantasy, lore and brtality of druids and ancient ways but at the same time there is a clinical delusion and insanity which Callie's perspective conveys.
I really enjoyed this.
Also reading on email the combo of the Image and the Font was excellent, visually a nice design for the newsletter.
Thanks so much for your comment, David! I always appreciate your voice! I really enjoyed writing it to be honest - especially after touching on Welsh mythology in Sunday’s post. The Mabinogion has always intrigued me, the depth of myth and legend that runs through the soil of the topography here! Thanks for reading - Diolch yn fawr! 🍁🧡🍁

Why I Don’t Hike
It’s frightening out there,
beneath the chattering leaves
and the overgrown paths
with their secret agendas.
This is why I stay indoors,
why I keep to the civilized comforts
of coffee cups and warm slippers—
no wild rustling in my living room,
no lurking shadows underfoot.
But I raise my cup to you, Carolyn,
intrepid soul, fearless among trees,
who marches where I dare not tread.
Terrific story!
This is so wonderful, Gloria! I adore it when you riff off what you have read. 🍁🧡🍁 Appreciate you x
