Aurora Borealis
There was once a town swathed in mist. Visible on most maps if you searched long enough.The laughter on the wind swayed the flags strewn among the lampposts. Windowsills held offerings of milk and bread crusted in honey.The rivers are said to have been made by giants as they made their way to the sea … Continue reading Aurora Borealis
