A “Red Grouse Tale” - an adult literary fiction / fantasy story for those who like to think about what they are reading.

"The Crow" - A sad, poignant tale of misunderstanding, dying, bitterness and blame.

“Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.” Ecclesiastes 12:8
 
This tale, which centres on our almost desperate desire to leave something to mark our lives upon this earth, is told as a history recounted by Dave, of the time when he, as a child, was taken by his mother to a hospice where he met a dying and embittered old Irish priest known as Mad Father Patrick, who told him about the school days and subsequent rise of a local councillor, Reginald Monday, and of his (Monday's) involvement in the construction of a dam which flooded a valley. Father Patrick's increasingly mad tale is told with a blend of biblical quotations, philosophical musings and wild fantasy, but how does it end and just why is he so bitter?
