Darkling Intruder

This is how this story came to me. A night owl whispered it to me as I dreamed, and the telling of the tale turned unsettled sleep into a vivid vision of sub-conscious dread and unspoken fear.This, dear reader, is the tale of Rosemary Leafe, a young woman who was intimidated by interiors and oppressed by the outdoors. She suffered many a threatening presence inside her claustrophobic house, but no felt safer outside because the fresh air filled her lungs with sickness and nausea. One day, Oran Mor appeared at her door, and he came in the guise of a saviour of sorts, but few fickle young men can authentically make a claim as large as that. They often carry their own concerns and complications buried deep within the forgotten recesses of their conscience. Oran Mor was just such a charming man, but he did not come alone, for he brought with him the ending and the beginning of Rosemary Leafe.
