Christmas with the Kalli

By Elizabeth Los

With a word count of less than 5,000, this Christmas short story holds horror and thrills based on two fables: the Kallikantzaroi and Santa Claus.

In a rustic cabin in the woods, Britta awaits the arrival of her newborn child. But a few minutes before midnight on Christmas Eve, her family is confronted by an unusual creature, a Kallikantzaroi. Legend has it that any child born during the Christmas season could be taken by a Kallikantazoi or, worse yet, change into one.

Elizabeth Los

"I began writing fan fiction short stories in 2011, as means of escape. The response to the stories provided the necessary encouragement to continue on. A wife and mother, working full time plus another job on the side, and helping others in need, I made writing my therapy, my release for stress. I hope to continue on with this love, providing the same enjoyment she receives while writing."Elizabeth uses writing as therapy, her release from everyday stress. At night, after work and once the children are finally tucked in bed, for the fifth time, she sits at her laptop and lets her imagination flow.Elizabeth has produced short stories, one of which will be published in an anthology. She had a blast writing Sherlock Holmes fan fiction story entitled A Case of Need, based on the BBC’s Sherlock. By July 2011, her first novel, Second on the Right, had been completed. She spent several years polishing the story in order to provide a high quality product to the public. Second on the Right is her first professional novel.Elizabeth currently lives in Southern California with her husband, children, as well as a rambunctious Black Labrador and an enormous yet loveable Saint Bernard.
