Tales From the Wyrd Museum 1: the Woven Path
“The alarming shadow of a solitary market porter carrying a teetering stack of baskets on his head loomed unexpectedly from the dark and she quickened her steps to avoid speaking to him.

Kath cursed herself for being ...afraid of the creature, then peered around her. The doorway was around here somewhere.
'JEROME'S ALL NIGHT SNACKER' was a greasy, unhealthy little dive. The faded board outside the shuttered windows declared to the world that it regularly opened at eleven o'clock at night and closed at seven the following morning, but during those bleary-eyed hours, it was never frequented by more than a few shady customers. The proprietor always chuckled to himself when some uninformed fool strayed inside and asked for something to eat.MoreLess
