The Moors

‘Don’t go out on the moors,’ said the mistress of the house. She giggled and flounced away.

For a long time, she didn’t, instead frowning out of the glitter-framed windows at the rolling flower-filled fields.

But when she finally caught the person skulking the halls at midnight and they winked and disappeared in a blast of confetti, she had no choice.

She was dragged back again, of course. Made to play out their Pastelgothic Horror.
