When Spirits Break Free

Billy had never fit into the mould of tradition. Born into a world where coal was king and sons followed their fathers into the depths to cut out the coals to feed a hungry nation. He preferred the comfort and solace of his own company rather than playing the games of old along the cobbled streets of Castlefields. At times however, Molly, Billy’s mother suspected her son was never quite alone within the family home. At times hushed voices would be heard creeping from the darkest corners, voices she was sure were not of imagination. In later years experiments with hallucinogenic mushrooms once more opened the doorways to the darkened recesses within his mind. The key had once again been turned, foretelling not only of Billy’s destiny, but also the destiny of those around him.
