Summary

 «Random Friends» a novel about two dwellers in a big city. Yumi, beautiful young woman architect. Once she met up with an office clerk name Daichi, their friendship revealed a deeper mystery. You'll find answers to unasked questions. Two dreamed of many, but felt lost at thirty. Why they looking for oblivion to numb their yearnings, drowning longing, cynically trampling an own portrait from charming youth? Yumi has led a shadowy life, having been a solo parkour tracer. She had drawn attention by being caught on CCTV and the footage went straight to the Osaka News channel. Her face was hooded, dressed pretty unusual, an oversized jacket, backpack, earphones over the hood, and two pigtails that sometimes slipped out. Her tough, obscure style immediately makes her popular, but she didn't wish so. Yumi has crossed the barrier, where the past has been thrown into the dustbin, but the future is yet to come. Two spare time together, having dinner, drinking a lot, musing on the ideas of Julius Evola. Their tricky humour was off the charts and friendship revealed deep secrets, but could they stay together despite the blows of fate? 
 
 Here's to more cheerful moments and bright days! I wonder why you're here, cause it's not like anyone reads my books. You're interested in my literature, aren't you? But my novellas are for the poor. Me too was avoiding the downpour and dozing under the bridge. I've been dispirited and shed tears, but I don't hold anyone accountable, because there is no one, and nothing at all. You wouldn't believe me though. Nevermind, I forgive you and granting access to read my books as complement.

    The Pendle Witches England 1600's 
Book 2 of 7 The Tale of Anne Whittle /Old Chattox 
The books are fictionally based on the true names and part facts of seven of the accused witches involved being sentenced to death mostly, although innocent, and is as follows: 
Anne Whittle, known as Old Chattox, was once a beloved healer in Lancashire, her voice and herbal wisdom cherished by her village. But years of hardship turned her into a bitter outcast. When a devastating drought struck, her desperate plea to the spirits brought not salvation, but a flood—and with it, accusations of witchcraft. Betrayed by her former friend Demdike and cornered by a starving village, Chattox confessed to a devil’s pact to save her daughter, Anne Redferne, from execution. Condemned as a witch, she faced the gallows with defiance, whispering to the earth itself: "The earth remembers me." Her death did not silence her. To this day, her spirit lingers on Pendle Hill, a ghostly reminder of injustice, her voice carried by the wind—a cunning woman who refused to be forgotten.  
This is the second book in a series of seven audiobooks and I do hope you enjoy this second instalment, and it's only $3 dollars, all subsequent will remain at that price. 
I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes plus, called Haunting Elegy, uses flute and harp to set the scene of witches living life as they could. The closing music ends in a sad way, called Melancholy same instrumental at nearly 3 minutes as the fate that befalls these innocent people awaits them.!  story itself runs to about 13 minutes, and and is narrated in my own voice.

    In the veil of eternity, where midnight witches carve runes into the fabric of night and celestial guardians patrol the starry abyss, Elara the rune-weaver binds her fate to Orion, a fallen star-spirit exiled for loving beyond his luminous kin. Their oath, forged in a ritual of shadow ink and comet tears, awakens a tempest that could either mend the fractured veil or plunge realms into chaotic void. As they traverse ethereal bridges of woven starlight and shadowed chasms haunted by void beasts, Elara's midnight magic clashes with Orion's celestial light, revealing an ancient pact that links their souls across eons. Yet, a coven of envious witches and a legion of dark guardians conspire to shatter the runebound vow, unleashing curses that twist time itself. In the heart of the eternal veil, where every rune pulses with peril and every oath echoes with destiny, Elara and Orion must surrender to their intertwined flames to restore balance. Their love, a beacon against the abyss, becomes the rune that rewrites eternity's decree.
