The Widder Woman
by Elizabeth Baxter
Toomi rails against her destiny. Chosen to become the next widder woman, she is forced to leave her family behind and live on the far side of Mother Lake with only the eccentric widder woman for company. Everything about the strange old woman disgusts Toomi. Her appearance, her dress—and the horrible, terrifying creatures she tends.
But when an autumn storm brings devastation to the lake people, Toomi is forced to confront the true secret of the widders. It is far from what she expected. And it will change her life forever.
The widder woman is a 7000 word fantasy short story.
