Who Are the Monsters of Beowulf?
The Epic of Beowulf Beowulf is an Old English epic poem written by an anonymous Anglo-Saxon poet in England sometime between the 8th and 11th centuries. It tells the story of the Geat hero Beowulf who aids the king of Danes Hrothgar in exterminating Grendel, a monster plaguing the great hall Heorot. Beowulf slays Grendel by ripping off his arm. When Grendel's mother finds out that her son was slain she kills Hrothgar’s closest advisor as revenge. In response, Beowulf travels to her lair and slays her, bringing back Grendel’s head as a trophy. Beowulf is rewarded greatly for his efforts and returns home to Gautland, eventually becoming its king.

In Plain Site
Çatalhöyük is an archeological site situated on the Konya plain in Turkey, and boasts extensive ruins of a group of prehistoric proto-cities. These hive-like structures were entered through the roofs, and fostered a tight-knit and unique communal structure of living. One of their most famous features were their burial practices: the dead were left on the rooftops to be de-fleshed by birds, and the skeletons were disassembled, and reassembled with other remains. They were decorated and painted, then these relics were shared between different homes where they would be enshrined beneath the floors. Children are thought to have been raised between different households as well. The inner walls of the small cell-like rooms were meticulously and repeatedly plastered and whitewashed. One of their favored objects [of worship?] are immense bull or Auroch horns that decorated many of the chambers. This culture flourished in the 7000's B.C.E.

Corpse, Changeling or Asylum?
it’s always fun to imagine who you might be if you were born in a different time. A princess, perhaps, or a noted scholar. One of the decadent gentry, waited on hand and foot. A bold explorer? Someone sure to go down in the history books, obviously.

Underground. Top Story - June 2023.
Well, this really is a challenge. What I mean by opening with that line is, I had to choose a particular historical era to return to and then add to it my own idea of an occupation. I decided that I did not want to flit ahead to some future that I could not imagine without adding all the clichés of science-fiction. To head backwards required me to be honest about history and the circumstances that would guide my life. It would have to be something believable and real enough to tell a fantastic story.
