My Teaser

Rose loved stories closer to home. Reports of vagrants stealing food from honest tables, their knapsacks bulging with other people’s belongings. The local gazette was her preferred reading It was full of dreadful stories that made them lock their door at night and fear the sounds of the isolated house.
