I'm not particularly a furry fan but this tale was well told and the characters developed nicely. I also have a soft spot for mystical styled tails, or tales.
it's apparent that you live in upper East Tn or upper W.NC. My home is close to Hwy 321 in Cosby, Tn.
I must say you have an enjoyable and well crafted story. There was a local ( NC) author ( Manly Wade Wellman) who told strange story's about the unusual denizens who inhabit many of the darker hollows......Your story is reminiscent of his...

Thanks for the nice comments. I'll take the Wellman comparison as a compliment--I like his work and was trying for some of that ambience. :)
This was an interesting story with lots of twists. I really enjoyed reading all of it. Thank you.
