The Speckled Band
from ClearTales · host Richard Carlton London
It was an early spring morning, and the fire had only just been lit. The little sitting room still smelled of coffee and woodsmoke. A young woman sat near the flames with her coat still buttoned to the chin, and even with the warmth of the fire, she was shivering. Her name was Helen. She was not yet forty, but her hair had gone gray too soon, and her eyes had the look of someone who had not slept in a long while. ClearTales is a podcast of dementia-friendly stories.
