A Gnome’s Yule by Crow Moon- Bonus Mini Episode High atop a lonely hill was a just-as-lonely evergreen. On this cold winter’s night, like each year before, the weathered tree stood as tall as it could, having withstood many years of natures harshness and peoples indifference.

Alone on the night of the winter solstice, with unadorned boughs and no star at its top, the weary tree appeared to weep...Enjoy this offering of an original story written and told by recent 'Moot Loot' guest- Crow Moon 2025.
