The Unsettling
The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished. That’s what they say, and to be fair it's an adequate if unimaginative description of what transpired, but the common folk around here aren’t know for their poetry or prose. I won’t fault them for that, or their ignorance of the events that led to the river running backwards. It is on that note that I feel obliged to provide some context, seeing as I was there after all. There was strangeness occurring in the river and I had embarked upon a quest for knowledge as to the reason why, all signs up to that point had led to the Queens involvement but I had to be sure. It’s not proper to accuse without getting the facts after all.
