Short Story Sunday Part 3 “Una possibile volpe e un agnellino”

As Alison and Ken delve deeper into the legend of Ceridwen, a meeting with a Welsh historian raises more questions than answers. Are they uncovering an ancient mystery, or has something already begun to follow them?

Short Story Sunday Part 2 Paws four, Fort
The morning after a very strange Hallowe’en, Ken and Alison have questions.
Unfortunately, nobody else in the village seems to have noticed anything unusual.
A little digging leads them to the legend of Ceridwen – and the unsettling discovery that what they witnessed follows an ancient story rather too closely for comfort.

Short Story Sunday Part 1 The Ghost of Ceridwen
Alison and Ken thought they knew what to expect from Hallowe’en: too many plastic skeletons, questionable seasonal merchandise and perhaps a hot toddy at the pub.
They weren’t expecting the woman in red.

And they certainly weren’t expecting either of them to start changing shape.
What begins as an ordinary Hallowe’en in a quiet Welsh village is about to become something far older, stranger and considerably more complicated.
