THE UNEXPECTED PARCEL
‘Pass the scissors Mimi, did you order this ?’
‘No Ben. Its easy to lose track in the lock-down.’
‘Open it Mimi, what on earth…’
Ancient Hobgoblins step out, bickering and spitting. They smell of woodlands and decay
Tyll the Trickster eyes aflame with malice sneers at everyone
A Magician conjures up scenes of normal life with a puff of sulphurous smoke, laughing in the faces of Mimi and Ted
The Little People grow bigger, their screams fill the kitchen as they fight each other
‘Ben what’s this all about ? Look, the address label says To The Future.’
