The Revenant

“And then, I must tell you, I became afraid. I did not know exactly what I was afraid of, but every hair on my body stood up, and my heart hammered, and my breath felt sharp and painful. I was possessed by a sense of the uncanny, of something that my cosy little world had never had to accommodate and which I could not explain.”

A young woman is haunted by an encounter with an unknown man one evening. She cannot account for the sense of familiarity the stranger brings with him, or for his aura of solitude and sadness. It is only later that she realises the strange connection that exists between them – and the tragedy that still continues to haunt the present.

A short story of 3,800 words, THE REVENANT is a tale of love and longing from beyond the grave.
