The Man in the Cabin
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Katie had been running around by herself, like she did most nights – exploring, pretending she was a soldier; uncovering woodlice from underneath damp stones, watching them scuttle around, and wondering what they were thinking about. When she saw the flickering candle out the corner of her eye, the jarring light made her realise how dark it had become. She ran home.

Maria
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The first person to notice it was a woman called Maria. Women didn't tend to enter the woods at night, but Maria had a Great Dane called Jay. She walked him past the old cabin every night, letting him trot on ahead to guide her through the trees.

A Strange and Tiny Thing
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. Michael sighed, thinking back to simpler times. Times when his patients had been limited to human beings—human-sized beings, at least, with the occasional elf and warlock popping into the surgery every now and again. He remembered it well—his stock had consisted entirely of normal-sized equipment, his doorways had only needed to be a couple of meters tall, and he hadn’t ever needed to use a ladder to inspect a patient.
