Scream in Silence — Fictionspawn

“Tonight I’m going to tell you the story about Jack. Jack was a young man, a man living here in this village. Jack walked the streets late at night, strode when everyone else had gone to bed. Jack was the night guard, the man who lit the street lamps at night. The watchman, the man who kept us all safe.” All the children listened carefully. Old Davick took a deep breath, and went on with his story. “One night Jack saw something on top of the high mountain top behind the village. The old legends say it’s holy, but there are even older legends saying it is cursed. He saw something move up there, something big, rounding the top before it disappeared… (more)

UK Moths

There have been a few moths in the garden over the summer as well, not always easy to spot so I imagine there may have been many more.

The Poplar Hawk Moth is a previous photograph from out walking and he was just on the pavement! It’s such a super moth, I had to include it and felt lucky to have found it.

Caterpillars in the garden…

This year has been pretty awesome for caterpillars in the garden. Lucky as I haven’t been out much this year (obviously), but no matter, nature came to me.

Partly I think because I seem to have planted well last year. Planning lots of nasturtiums and getting a couple of fruit plants – gooseberry and blueberry.

Although not much on the fruit, they seem to have attracted a new guest. And one I had not seen before. As it was hairy, I know not to touch! I also have captured a number of moths and butterflies this year which will get their own post. Not as many butterflies as last year for variety, but plenty of large and small whites on the nasturtiums.

Past Demons — Fictionspawn Monsters

Outside the sun was shining. Some small children were playing a game down by the park, rolling a wheel over the grass. A beautiful couple was walking by, holding hands. She could see their eyes, glimmering with love and affection. Inside everything was dark. They were always there. Her demons. The memories from times that should have been in the past, but never let go. Treason, terrors, fears… (more)
