A very strange incident triggered the writing of this tale, but I'm glad to say that none of the horror injected into it relates to my experience, which is just as well.
BlurbThere are places where the past and the present walk in tandem, where people and events seem to echo those who have been but are no longer. There is something in the fabric of the buildings, in the feel of the earth, that evokes the timelessness of an eternal present, where a crossing over may occur at any moment. Scarside Beck is one such place; a Cumbrian hamlet in which the gossamer film that separates all of our yesterdays from what is now is apt to tear. Is it from the stone, or the sodden soil that this remembrance seeps, to be sensed, and felt, and yet not acknowledged by the conscious mind? There was something here, and it lingers still. I feel it.
