A Short Story. 

Again, thanks to you all for being such great supporters.
This tale is about three Hikers, two young women, and a man. Soon they find strangeness around them and very weird people along the way. Events, as they unfold, will surprise you. 
They did me !!!
Cornwall - Stones








Here is a small snippet just to introduce you to Janice, Sarah, and Roger...


Old Souls.


By the time the three of them had finished their argument, each had forgotten who it was that suggested they take a long weekend break in Cornwall, in the month of October, in the first place.
“It's going to be cold.”
“I bet it rains, it always rains.”
“Nowhere will be open, so we'll have nowhere safe to stay at night.”
And so it went on.
Each of them made a negative contribution, but they couldn't remember who had actually said what.
It did raise the question, “what were they doing in Cornwall. In England. In October; at all?”

Janice, Roger, and Sarah had taken many hiking trips together. It was their “thing.” So far they had done, some nice parts of Italy, a bit of Switzerland and quite a lot of France. Mostly because France seemed near-bye. A quick train ride and there they were.
The other places they wanted to walk over, were an air-flight away and except for Roger, neither of the girls could take that much time off work.

Whichever one of them suggested Cornwall, knew there was a four-day weekend at the end of October, so he, or she had suggested a short ramble through the open parts of Cornwall. “It'll be lovely.” All of them remember that being said. “We stay close to the coast and it will be an easy hike.” That too.

At this particular moment they were, according to the map, three miles from the sea, five miles from a small village and there should be a quite high hill, near a small woods. That is if the map was being read correctly. Oddly enough, Janice was the map reader. Oddly; because Roger always harboured the belief that she couldn't find her back-side with two hands. Although he also whispered to himself, that it was large enough and should have its own place on the map.

Roger became friends with Janice a long time ago, the two of them had a brief “encounter” as Janice describes it, but instead of falling out, they actually became tight friends. Sarah is her best friend. So the three of them became close........................................


How did they end up HERE??
