The Real

Quiet rumours have been invading Canada of something strange and powerful.

First, the power goes out. The cars wont start. The clocks stop working. Cellphones wont turn on.

Then the whispers of monsters begin. A troll under a bridge in Halifax. A massive, white beast in the Northwest Territories, stalking families, leaving nothing but blood behind. And the woman in the pestle in New Brunswick, terrorizing people in the swaths of forest around the Saint John region.

Glenn has always been firmly rooted in reality. Often mistaken for a bit of a meathead out of his love of hockey, he has always loved science and fact. So when he begins to hear these rumours, Glenn immediately writes it off as being paranoia and panic. After all, there are no such things as those faerie-tale beasts!

But when the power goes out, and the strange paranormal situation hits his small hometown, Glenn finds himself unable to rationalize what's happening.

Katina knows what's happening. This is the event that the women in her family have trained and learned for, for centuries--including herself! With the knowledge that her witch mother has been teaching her since she was a toddler, Katina is sure she knows what to do to at least keep them safe, But she's not too sure she's prepared to tell her friend Glenn that his idea of reality has been wrong for a very long time.
