Return to Bryn Mairwyn read like a preview, or perhaps an epilogue, of a longer story. Perhaps that’s what the authors have in mind.Immediately, there is a connection with Desmond McKenna. He’s returned home after a long time away with the feelings that it’s time to end things where they began. The desperation is there, the loss, the loneliness. He’s ready to end his long, long life that has been filled with heartache and struggle.For Desmond, an issue is that no one understands his plight. He’s gone through his life with no one else like him – or so he thought.When Desmond meets a similar person, it adds doubt to his decision.Instead of completely letting go, he turns into his true form of a dragon and feels the joy that he was originally intended to feel.What does he ultimately decide? That question is unfulfilled with the story left open-ended for the reader to fill in the blanks.The short story was compelling enough for me to want to know more and find out if Desmond is able to find peace. So, if there is a novel-length book to this short story, it’s likely I will read the rest of Desmond’s story whether the tale is about what came before or after this story.**Originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog.
