That is the end of that particular ghost story, although it appears the last sentence is missing. I’ll try to fix that today. Syril is a traditionalist. He does things old school style. In the old days, you dressed and spoke as the person you were celebrating. Too bad there’s no audio so we could hear Syril telling stories mimicking his mom’s voice.
Major respect to Syril! And now I want to hear the story about his mother.
The ladies’ costumes are impressive as well. And Maeye’s story is wonderful and hits all the right Halloween buttons: a spooky location, dire warnings, evil in disguise, a climactic fight, and of course lots of blood and gore! A great page, well done.
Lots of typoes and general errors, some of them could have been passed off as variants in speech, but still didn’t detract from the great story, just felt you should know without pointing them all out
That does wrap things up nicely (does Maeye really have a bear claw? or was it entirely just a ‘story’? would have been nice to have had a cut-away to the claw hanging in her room, but not enough room)
They are sisters, who keep ‘rescuing’ a dwarf by cutting his beard shorter and shorter, and helping a pair of bear cubs (maybe? fairly sure there were bears in it somehow)
It will be better if you manage to track one of the versions down yourself, fortunately Der Maus hasn’t corrupted it like it has with so many other classic tales
Nice one!
i could easily imagine that story to bee happening with her…
and that last Maeye pose is just perfect… 😉
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it.
Great ghost story! There’s more, yes?
And Sir Syril in a dress!

Oh, thought it was just the first half of the story, and the reveal would be told tomorrow

Thank you very much. I will see what I can do about flushing out Syril’s story about his mom. Glad you enjoyed the story!
It was hard to keep the story down to where it would fit on the page.

Ugh. Thanks. Maybe I should try writing this stuff sober.
I edited the ghost story and added a few sentences at the end that seemed to have been dropped off. It wraps up more nicely now. Sorry about that.

That was quite a story. I like that the bear is seen as sympathetic.
Kinda like in the “Snow White & Rose Red” story (no, not “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves”)
How does that one go?

I will have to check that out!
Thank you. He was repaying her for saving the bear cub. Maeye makes lots of friends through random acts of bravery and kindness.
Hmmm, thought the Great Bear was the bear cub…
The great bear is a spirit who happened to live in that forest. That area is a bit of a spirit and ghouly hotspot.
