Songs of the Seasons, Song Three: The World Spins Madly On

By Janine Spendlove

This third short story in the Songs of the Seasons collection tells what happens to Josh after Story disappears in the cave. When a strange and unexpected messenger brings Josh the news that Story is alive and well--or was--Josh quickly realizes there is a whole other world, full of creatures he thought existed only in faerie tales.
-------------------------
Josh,
Surprise! I’m not dead. At least not at the moment, though not for lack of trying on a certain sadistic faerie prince’s part. But I digress – yes, I survived the fall, & injury free at that. I’m sorry for waiting so long to tell you, but believe me when I say this was literally the first chance I had to do so.
I know even if I tell you not to that you’ll still worry about me, so I won’t bother. That said, please know that as of this writing I’m alive & well, & more importantly, happier than I’ve been in a very long time. I promise I’ll tell you all about it when I get back – it’s a pretty crazy story for sure.
Also, you’d better believe that as soon as I get back I’ll race you to the pond!
Love ya,
Story
