"We'd had enough of the rat race.The city was closing in on us with concrete jaws.We'd accumulated too many acquaintances and not enough friends.So Midge and I found a place in the heart of the forest. The cottage was charmingly quaint - maybe a little run-down, but that was easy to fix - and it was peaceful.The setting was perfect for her as an artist,and good for me as a musician.Midge loved it,I quickly grew to love it.For a while there,we thought we'd found a haven,our very own Shangri-La.The woodland animals and birds couldn't have been more neighbourly.That was the first part of the Magic. Our work - Midge's painting,my music - soared to new heights of creativity.That was another part of the Magic.Our sensing,our feelings, our love for each other - well,that became the supreme Magic.But,you guessed it - nothing was quite as it seemed.Because for every Good, there's a Bad.And the cottage had an alternative side.The Bad Magic.It wasn't long before that darkness manifested itself,and what followed, what happened to us in our little love-nest for two,was horrendous beyond - and yeah,I mean this - beyond belief.The miracles,the healings,the crazy sect who wanted our home for themselves,the hideous creatures that crawled from the nether regions,and the bats, let's not forget the bats! - even now those terrible things seem impossible to me.Yet they happened.Oh yeah,they sure as hell happened.So be warned: this is no fairy tale. . . . . ."
