Wonderfully told. For some reason I really like the expression, "the last house before Norway" – I can hear the ocean in it! Which island was this? I have visited the Mainland twice but never any of the smaller islands.
What a gorgeous, quieting story, even in its hauntedness! Love this line: The figure slowly and silently turned and I could see she was hunched over something cradled in her arms. A baby. There was a woman in a shawl, rocking a baby, at the foot of my bed. And I was not scared.

What a story, elegantly and skilfully told.
Blimey, Alexander. I would've been terrified. And what a revelation shared by your Mum!
Oh my gosh, Alex, I’m so glad you posted this today. It’s gripping! What an experience.
😟 nope!
There is no doubt that I would have lept from my bed and been down those stairs in record time!

A beautiful story, thank you.
