"The lady in grey? Oh, that's just Gladys. She still gotta get used to manifesting her presence. Don't worry, she might pop in now and then, but she's not a bad sort."
@sifaswriting.bsky.social"Seriously, they call him a #specter? He's the nicest ghoul in the neighbourhood!"
"He's eight feet tall, lanky, and missing all his teeth. Oh, and he tends to wander around and startle people by accident. But he's a good guy, once you get to know him."

@short-stories.bsky.socialPristine rivers hold
afterglow of alpenglow,
spry wrens soaring
toward an onward horizon,
sweetness filling the orchard
maple seeds spin in cool air
dew sparkles on flowering meadows,
abundance coming into season
nature's bequest

@sifaswriting.bsky.socialAs #twilight fell, the village settled in for a long autumn night. The chilly wind blew through. The ashes of the bonfires grew cold, the animals began their sleep, and the people awaited the snows to come. The land lost its warmth until the coming spring.
@sifaswriting.bsky.socialThe last bits of sunset were fading, the #afterglow of a beautiful day. The princess lay in the arms of her new husband and watched as the sun sank below the horizon.
A new night, but the autumn chill did not make her cold.
@sifaswriting.bsky.social"The #crispness of the air, you can almost taste it, no?"
He glanced at her. "No, I can't, but I wish."
"Ah, forgive me, I forgot that your people can't sense the autumn like we can. I wish I could share the experience with you."
His smile was wistful. "One day."
@sifaswriting.bsky.social"Now, I have #apple pie with ice cream all ready for after supper. Eat up, and I'll get it ready."
"You're the best, Fairy Grandma."
"Anything for my favorite grandfae."
"I'm your ONLY grandfae."
"Point taken. Just wait until you get to be a grandparent yourself, it's fun!"
@short-stories.bsky.socialRaging gusts test
the chimney’s flames,
biting cold forcing
the tenacious birch to renounce,
footsteps fading beneath
the heavy snowfall,
a lonesome swallow perches
on a forgotten postbox
its cry drifting into silence.

@sifaswriting.bsky.socialThe #swallows flew south for the winter. All the augurs and oracles foretold a harsh snow this season and warned all the lords to plan accordingly.
Some of them listened and survived the blizzards. Others did not and froze in their own castles. Fate was quite fickle.
@sifaswriting.bsky.socialAs the weather grew colder, the animals went into #hibernation. Not only the bears, but the various denizens of the kingdom went into their yearly sleep. The ones who didn't wished their friends happy dreams until spring.
@sifaswriting.bsky.socialTwo squirrel families lived in neighbouring trees. One family #foraged all summer and autumn and stored nuts away for the winter. The other waited until the last moment to do the same.
Come spring, one of the trees was empty, the storage devoid of any nuts. The other had a surplus.
