Yodhallow
The letter had been seared onto the flank of the farmer’s golden sow; a long stroke and a dot above, encrusted by blood and half-formed scabs. Bound by fury, he had tramped across the meagre valley that surrounded Yodhallow and onto the shepherd’s land to demand answers from the sheep herder. They were the only two people who possessed any sort of cattle brand. Dumbfounded, the shepherd let loose the sheep he was about to shear and led the pork farmer to the pen, where the sheep brand hung from a metal hook. The end of the rod formed a curly ‘M’ shape at odds to the one on the sow.

FULL MOON NIGHT
The belief that the moon has the ability to make men mad has endured for many centuries. Mankind's belief in the power of the moon is so prevalent that the word "lunatic" actually originated from the Latin word "lunaticus," which translates to "moonstruck" or "of the moon." Greek philosophers like Aristotle also suggested that the human brain, which floats inside the skull, is very much like the tides of open waters, making the organ susceptible to the gravitational pull of the moon.
