Her grandmother had said, once, that she’d been either doubly blessed, or doubly cursed. Born with a caul, and on a New Moon? Used to be, that meant something significant. Maybe it still did.
She’d written it off as embarrassing superstition. But it’s been hard to ignore the dream that shows up every time her birthday intersects with that moon phase, or the willowy figure that presides over all of it.
Previously, she’d never been able to make out what she’d been seeing. She only got the impression of something reaching, and did everything she could to get away.
