Linfield 1890

Linfield 1890

(2019)



The beast pulled itself up to its full height and stepped into the light of the torch.   

It stood over six feet tall, with long limbs. It had otter like fur from the shoulders down, with little to no fur on its head. Large wide eyes reflected the light of the torch. They were brown with flecks of gold. They sat far apart on its oversized oblong head. There were two flat open slits in the space in the middle of its face where its nose would be. Tentacle like structures covered the sides of its cheeks.

It sniffed the air around Private Milton.

Private Milton put down the torch and held up his hands, trying to show that he meant no harm. Given that he had nowhere else to go, he took a wide stance and held his ground. He spoke slowly and with purpose.

"Hello. I'm no threat to you. I came here quite by mistake."

'"Grrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhmmmmmm."


Linfield has always been a strange place. But when did it all start?

Travel back to 1890 for a dark dose of the macabre with your slice of freshly baked apple pie. Just be careful where you dig.
