Michaelmas

by Aaron Pitters

On an autumn evening in 1727, Thomas Edward Downs sits down with his family to celebrate Michaelmas, in memory of the archangel casting Lucifer out of heaven. Their goose dinner is interrupted by the thunderous sound of a large horse-drawn carriage charging up the lane.

Doctor Rathbone, a colleague from the local apothecary, implores Thomas to leave with him at once. His assistance is needed with an urgent situation out at the childhood home of the recently deceased Sir Isaac Newton.

Drawn by duty and curiosity, Thomas kisses his wife and children goodbye and heads out the door and into the cold and rainy night.

This is the illustrated version of the chilling novella.
