I will be writing a blog entry about this one tomorrow, but for now, you can catch my flash, "Shattered Moon, Hungry Sea", on @flametreepress' Myth & Fiction podcast!

If you hear noises in the woods near the tower... No, you don't. It's better if you don't. It's safer if you don't. Safer still is reading today's short story...

We're thinking in threes, and things that happen in them. Three knocks before the door opens. Three cheers. Three poems by @anna_madden_
