Brutal Revenge
“At first, in the dawn light, it was eerily translucent, creeping over the shadowy landscape like a clear, sticky fluid, consuming everything in its path.
Its density increased along with its size as the morning wore on and very soon the whole island was wrapped in a damp, yellowish blanket.

A great quietness prevailed, disturbed only by the distant cry of a gull and the amplified activities of insects in the tall, ...still grass.
The two men sat amongst the depressing ruins of the old Hebridean 'black house', their ears extra-sensitive to the slightest sound, their bodies cold and weary from their long ordeal. Their breathing stirred the greyness around them and their voices — on the few occasions they spoke — seemed unnaturally loud.
The six-foot thick walls, made from large boulders and with rounded corners, stared down at them mockingly through the swirling mist. They were inside the shell of what would once have been the home of a large, hard-working crofting family.MoreLess
