The children were gathered, huddled on the floor, squeezed by twos and threes into chairs. Their faces were turned to his, expectant, for he‟d promised them a story to chase boredom from a stormy day.
He hadn‟t intended to give them this one, not yet, for some were so young. And the tale was far from tender. But the rain whispered to him, hissing the words he‟d yet to speak. Even a storyteller, perhaps especially a storyteller, had to listen.
