Under the Leaves: A Short Story
He followed a coven of witches into the forest-and saw truths not meant for human eyes.
When Dr. Ambrose Weatherby, an unremarkable Cambridge scholar with a fondness for obscure manuscripts and poor Latin, glimpses thirteen cloaked figures soaring skyward behind a ruined house on a country road, he does what any sensible academic ought not to: he follows them.
Armed with a centuries-old grimoire, a foul-smelling ointment, and a borrowed broomstick of dubious origin, Ambrose sets out to uncover where witches go on a moonless night. What he finds in the woods is ancient, unsettling-and entirely outside the curriculum.
A darkly atmospheric and humorous blend of folklore, ritual magic, and gothic suspense, Under the Leaves is a tale of scholarly pride, supernatural peril, and the dreadful price of asking questions no one ought to ask.
