The Egg: Tale IV from the Abyssal Black

by Tom G.H. Adams

Woody wants a child. He and his wife, Jenna, have been trying for years but to no avail.
Sometimes miracles happen in the form of fertility treatment, a willing surrogate or a successful adoption. For Woody and Jenna, the answer comes in the form of the Egg. Woody discovers it one morning in his hen coop with no clue as to how it appeared. It’s big — the kind of size an ostrich would lay. And something inside it is moving.
This latest tale from the archives of The Abyssal Black tells a story of universal yearning, the strain this puts on relationships, and the price people will pay to realise their dreams.

About the author

Tom Adams is an imaginer drifting between lands of fantasy, horror and bizarro. When he strays back into the realm called reality he finds himself in Middleland; a geologically beautiful gamut of scenery in the north west of England. The forces that drive him shift their shapes with sharp needles of inspiration, but at present include the art of Zdzislaw Beksinski, the music and words of Ronnie James Dio and a frankenstein amalgam of word-scriptors such as Vonnegut, Tolkien, Clevenger, Leonard and Bradbury.
