I love this time of year, as the nights get longer and darker my thoughts turn, as I'm sure yours do too, to a terrible mishap or maybe a nice grizzly murder. It's such an inspiring time of year! But I do need cheering up too. I find the Christmas lights that appear in every High Street in every town make me smile. They also inspired this short story which I hope you will enjoy. It stars Caleb, ex-soldier and war hero, now a high street accountant, who doesn't have normal customers. They have a habit of getting caught up in murder and mishaps.
