This is a story I wrote for the community of Fittie, Aberdeen while I was Storyteller in Residence as part of a Creative Commons project. I was given the task of finding the essence of Past, Present, and Future in the village. Using concepts of Myth and honouring place through my relationship with the community I created this poetic narrative. I hope you enjoy :)
