The song used is actually a poem by William Butler Yeats. It’s called ‘Stolen Child’, and put to music by Loreena Mckennitt.

Now, about this relating to real life…well, yes, someone in my family had been in a car accident. She survived, but we still feel its effects every day.

Thanks for reading! : )

poignant, and well written.

Exceptionally dark and poetic entry into the challenge. Definitely felt very personal, which defied the overall tone of someone seemingly on the verge of death.

it sounds sort if Celtic in my head, I see the trees and the forest spirits…
Very scary and dark entry. :)

Darkly beautiful. I have goosebumps, and I absolutely love it. Thanks so much for entering!

I’ve loved the Yeats poem since I first read it in a literature class two years ago. You’ve done something fresh and striking with it…a great ficlet!
