This was the first sighting. A large black beast with pale eyes. Arthur spotted the hideous black fur visible through the golden crops. He saw through those pale eyes. Those cold, pale, dead eyes. When a mysterious black dog is seen walking across the large wheatfield opposite the Church of Delsham Green on a windy day in 1913, the image shocks many of the villagers. As more and more sightings of the black beast surface, however, rumours sprout of something...darker at play. It's up to the ageing reverend of the village, Arthur Moore, to quench the rising hysteria as fears and apprehensions come to light. As apprehensions escalate, along with the sightings, Arthur faces a losing battle, and with the unknown facing him, it quickly becomes a race to find the truth of the matter of the beast.
And Rain Falls Here
Elliot Dawes
In the third circle I arrive, of showers
Ceaseless, accursed, heavy and cold, unchanged
For ever, both in kind and in degree.
Large hail, discolor’d water, sleety flaw
Through the dun midnight air stream’d down amain:
Stank all the land whereon that tempest fell.
Cerberus, cruel monster, fierce and strange,
Through his wide threefold throat, barks as a dog
Over the multitude immersed beneath.
-Inferno, Canto VI

Hester: Very good, was short too the point , not lingering on the abuse, pity you didn’t let him step in earlier knowing the abuse was happening, but this is almost real for some women who have gone through it, just wish they could all have a princess at te end of thete tunnel

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
