    About this ebook

    Six follows Ren everywhere she goes, but something's following him. It stalks him through the darkness of time and space, and it's hard to tell whether it's his past catching up, or reality giving way to what's really there.

    A darkly comic, twisted short story about sins, myths, and nightmares.

    Anna Reith

    Anna Reith lives behind a keyboard in the far south west of England. On the very rare occasions she is not writing, Anna enjoys taking long, muddy walks with her dogs, dabbling in her herb garden, and falling off horses. Not all at the same time, obviously.

      THIS IS what you think your mother’s remains will look like. The ash will be black, like all that soot in the fireplace. It will be heavy, like wet sand. There will not be too much of it. It will fit in a small urn with intricate designs on the borde
