Afterglow Woods

(Disclaimer: This story has no scientific basis whatsoever. Readers who insist on historical accuracy, enter at your own risk.)

Four musicians were sent as part of a bribe to the Twilight Woods, a place where assassins spent their remaining years putting their skills to use.

The one requirement for entering the woods was that you had to have a disability.

Different people, different choices, different fates.

These are several stories about how a blessing in disguise can come from misfortune. The stories of these people remind us that if you don't pursue happiness yourself, no one will save it for you. Children who are too well-behaved or too badly behaved have no future.
