    About this ebook

    Prompted by a row with his wife, Angelo goes for a walk in the forest where he stumbles across an unknown creature. After he brings it home, events unfold that he never could have expected and he finds himself forced to respond to issues that increasingly escalate beyond his control. His continued failure to perceive things for what they truly are leads to an ultimate irony of his own making.

      Prologue

      Near a small village deep in the forest, Angelo a married farmer has to make choices to please his wife. He at times does so, without realizing the consequences of his actions. A walk in the forest results in another decision that needs to be made. This leads to dire consequences for all concerned, and then the irony is revealed. One event leads to the next until there is no going back. This is a fantasy that takes place back in time before modern conveniences. The farmer and his wife have their share of marital problems. In due time a bigger problem arrives and it is more than Angelo can cope with. This situation brings out the true character of this farmer.
