Mirth at the Edge of the Wood (WIP)

There was a time when the only threat from the forest was stupidity. When the forest gave more than it took. But that was before.
Harry still refuses to talk about it. Refuses to talk about what happened in the woods, what happened to Gemma. All these years, and he’s never explained where she came from, the baby he’d carried out of the tree line with no explanation other than, “she was a gift from the forest.”
That was ten years ago.
Now, no one goes into the woods alone. Wise folk avoid it all together. Because the forest is eerily quiet, and children are disappearing.
