"It was easier to draw idly, head cocked, mind drifting in mist. If you concentrated, the image leaked away, spirals of ink that flowed from your fingers." I love your descriptions here! Really paints a great picture of those horrors that lurk at the edge of our minds when we aren't paying attention. What a fascinating tale of family blessings, curses. and sacrifices

Fantastic! It's modern gothic, it's folk, it's utterly enthralling and I hate you for writing it instead of me.
