Lying on my bed, one arm propped under my head, I tried to analyse what had happened today. Once I’d shown Faye to the second bedroom and made sure the windows were still secure, I’d taken my leave. My armour had been waiting for me. It was different from what I’d used in the past. […]

The barbell had looked too heavy for a regular human to lift. But whoever Agnar was, he was no regular human. His grunt as he’d lifted the impossibly stacked barbell down onto his already bulging pecs had cut through me. I’d watched with rapt attention as he pushed it up, and lowered it again, guiding

Light as feathers and even more beautiful her name landed on the deserted plane that was my heart. A tiny seedling burrowing into the reluctantly fertile soil, waiting for a drop of water to begin its lifecycle ingrained in its very core. “You said your name was Agnar, right?” Pushing her polished plate away from

The comment from a passerby made me halt in my tracks. It had been a whisper between a husband and wife, a few words spoken out of the corner of a mouth, meant for one pair of ears, and one only. Yet humans often underestimated us, what we could do, and how acute our senses

My heart nearly stopped in my chest when I rounded the corner I found myself face to face with a massive brown stag. The huge animal eyed me from under its long lashes, its dark, deep eyes strangely familiar. There had been news reports a couple of years back when people had been attacked by
