The Rose Covered Cottage - Douglas Granum C

This is one woman's solitary story of desperation and madness during WW1. Of her journey from hope to despair to death. Set in a great dark brooding forest, loneliness is pervasive as is the raven's cry. Lost love rotted and moldering, this woman, this sad vestige, is one more victim of war's destruction. We see her beautiful eyes glassy, yet dead, staring out from an old black and white photo album. She lovingly cradles her deceased child.

Her plight is discovered decades later in a collapsing mossy barn, in an antique rusted trunk by young lovers.
