The Sixth Story
from Dr Longshadow's Miscellany of the Uncanny. Hosted by J Reid
Welcome once again to Crepuscular Academy. I am Dr James Archipelago Longshadow, and it is my privilege to be the headmaster of this esteemed establishment. It is still the half term holiday here and as such all the pupils have gone home and the staff have been sent away for much earned rest. I myself spent a few days in contemplation on a beach of my acquaintance, however I am never truly at ease when I am away from this place. After all it has been my home, man and boy, for longer than I know…or truly understand. And so I have returned to enjoy a period of peace and relative quiet. I say relative quiet because on occasion this week I have become aware of footsteps coming from the rooms at the top of the school. These rooms are unused, and indeed off limits to the pupils. This phenomenon will, I fear, require some investigation. However, I am not afraid to admit that I am loathe to climb the stairs on my own. I shall wait. Normally, I would be entertaining the pupils with a tale at this time. If you don’t mind indulging me I shall share this weeks tale with you. Perhaps, I shall feel less alone...if I am alone.
