The 3rd Headless Haunting: Selkie and Kelpie
She'd have been way less angry if he'd done more than the bare minimum to get away with it.
He was always a good storyteller, maybe one of the best. But she had no idea how, after tossing her beheaded corpse off the cliff by the sea and forcing her horse to follow, he had stumbled into town covered in blood with strands of her hair still wrapped around his fists and got people believing that she was a selkie who'd taken her skin in a fit of jealousy and left poor ol' him alone and broken hearted (and able to marry that poor stupid girl he's been in a badly hidden affair with).
Maybe people just didn't like her? A secret lifelong resentment is the only way she could explain how readily they believed that shifty, silver tongued, sack of cow shit. Fakest crying she'd ever seen. No snot. Unbelievable.
They didn't believe any of the other fae bullshit that's been happening around here for generations but selkies? Well of coooooourse those are real. This time. They weren't when her poor granddad was telling stories about how his mother took saltwater baths sometimes and searched the farm like a woman possessed in between chores any time his father was gone for more than a day. They weren't when poor little Mary said the "seal man" made sure that they had a nice fish dinner every night when her father got too deep in the bottle to feed his children. But now, OOOOOOH now, everyone's big on selkies! Selkies everywhere! rich local history, proud seaside folktales, respect for blah blah blah.
Lying bastard couldn't have possibly known that her blood in the water would call to those who shared it.
Time to ride into town and try out her new teeth.

One more thing! I am happy to announce that the Welcome Home website will reopen on: April 11 !!
We are decorating this Home to the best of our ability and hope it will be fun to peruse once our spring cleaning is through! (Spring drawing, spring typing, spring website maintenance, etc!)
One more more thing!- We are also happy to announce... We are getting our very own array of merchandise! (Julie and Frank... Julie and Frank...) Designed by both Huck and Myself! It's been a labor of love we've been working on behind-the-scenes and I am so, so pleased with how they look thanks to those who are helping us- I hope you folks will really like what comes out too!
Welp! Until all of this is revealed in a month or so, I will be gone! So I will see you then! (Or Wally will, I should say- You know how it goes, haha) But have a good day! Remember to wave up high! Even if it's raining!
No one wants to leave the country they grew up in, but news like this shows how difficult it is to live in Gaza with homes, schools and hospitals destroyed.
So I hope you can help me evacuate my family from Gaza so that my father can get treatment abroad. I beg everyone who sees this to either donate or participate so that we can get out of this nightmare.
