The Gift

Christmas is ruined! At least that's what Dave thinks; the shop decorations are falling down, the dog's run away and he's forgotten to buy a lump of cheese to hang over the shop doorway. Can it get any worse?
A creature has stirred and left the sanctity of Furgle Forest. It is seeking its favourite prey. Dave is about to find out what a ruined Christmas really looks like.
Socks, cheese and darkness abound in this short story for Christmas.
