Oh this is so damn good, Nick. It’s so rich with detail. My parents live in a rural village in England and I live in a very rural hamlet in Wales. Tales like these run riot in the dark nights!
Oh noes! The Reverend isn't going to take it out on these little guys, is he? His own family?? Speighthart knows how to hold a grudge. Reading along is a continued delight, though. So maybe some further vengenance is called for. ;)
the character that the original idea was about has only just appeared...
the vignette about percy "pincher" minchin went totally out of hand and id practically written an episode of peaky blinders with him as a crime boss of "blue pigeons" before getting it back on track....
Hmm, perhaps you have a similar problem to me - there’s often far too many ideas wafting around inside the head at once. Like juggling with eight wands.
You are very good at these "uh oh" endings! I love how your characters behave so naturally, like young Steven wailing away at the bell, "...for that’s what any young boy would do." But surely Speighthart wouldn't attack his own family! Or would he...?
I'm glad you are liking it Jeannine - its just the best thing in the world when people are engaged in the story you tell. I MUST start the fantasy thing for the Lunar Awards however...
ive been tempted to do a voiceover, but I just keep descending into ridiculous accents and hysteria. and also I don't have a very good microphone or anything.
Yes, there are many temptations to cracking up whilst reading. Not to mention the odd pet dashing through the room, barking at high volume... not something I'd do well!
I must learn not to read these in the bright birdsong mornings. I’ll try to save the next episode for middle of the night owl cry darkness…

final chapter to come... all will be revelaed... or will it....😉
Whoaa… unexpected developments!
I was wondering how you were going to continue this. Especially when you said you hadn't even started the main story yet.
Obviously I approve!
And I do love all those little anecdotes about how various ill-fated characters met their doom! wonderful stuff!

You should write that!
