Angus McTavish has been dead for nigh on to ten months. He was murdered in the prime of his life by Chollum of the Black Douglas. I feel really bad that I'm digging him up now and not letting him rest as the poor man deserves. Let me tell you how it happened. It all started about 2 weeks ago. "Maurin my darling."

Food shopping took me almost a...

This story is completely finished. Except for what little editing I want to do before I submit it. It's almost 30,000 words long. I will repeat. It is complete...
