Hello, hello.
Apologies, it’s busier than usual today.
Find a seat and I’ll be with you soon. Got a quick tale for you today, straight from the horse’s mouth … kind of… well, you’ll see…

No fancy intro with this one.

I’s seen them you know, seen them with my own actual eyes. The demons in the woods. The forest spirits. Whatever they’s is. I’s seen them and they ain’t demons and they ain’t spirits, they’s worse than that. They’s men. And there’s nothing worse than men who act like demons.
Well, I say I’s seen them, but I mean my friend, Alan, he saw them, and we’ve known each other since we was five summers of age, and we’re both 12 summers of age now, so we’ve known each other… well, however long that is. We’ve known each other that long that we are pretty much blood, might as well be the same person. So what he sees, I sees, y’know? And out there, past the fields, past the mills, past the streams and becks and through the hamlets, and into the Ryngwoode, he’s seen them. All in black, spikes breaking out their skin. White faces with eyes on fire with black flames, burning down their cheeks.
