The Witch in My Mother's Skin

The Story

Maeve guards an enchanted forest where time stands still, her cold demeanor hiding a deep, buried sorrow. Young Clara arrives, and her steady kindness slowly breaks through Maeve’s defenses over the passing years. When family duties and an arranged marriage call Clara back, she promises to return. Maeve hides her pain behind harsh words as she watches the girl disappear at the barrier’s edge, leaving the guardian alone once more.
