Story Secrets - The Better Quill
Description
This story began on a rainy walk with an umbrella in one hand and my recorder in the other.
It’s about a young monk named Ciarán, a humble chicken feather gifted by his mother, and a growing hunger for something better—more elegant, more powerful, more admired.
His journey takes him far beyond the monastery, chasing birdsong and shimmering promises. What he finds is both breathtaking and dangerous. And centuries later, in the ruins of the scriptorium, an old monk with trembling hands must face the same question:
What do you want?
This tale is for anyone who's ever longed for more, only to discover they might already have what they need.
It’s a cozy fantasy wrapped in mystery, a parable about creativity, temptation, and grace—and maybe, just maybe, a story that loops back on itself in a way you won’t see coming.
I hope it stays with you.
