Hello Celtic Callers!! Coming to you live from Kerry's bedroom, we have two short story excerpts, first created by Kerry waaaay back in 2019 (and edited since!).  First is Kerry's take on the mythical Byronic hero in a modern world (aka f*ckboy alert!) and then her take on the idea of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl (Rab is more of a Manic Goblin Nightmare Girl, tbh).
