Their story reminds us that even the smallest creatures can make a big difference and that protecting the environment is a responsibility that we all share. Top of Form Bottom of Form Story Begins: Once upon a time. In a far-off land, where the sun always shone and the breeze was always warm, there lived a tribe of creatures called the Mammoths. These were gentle giants, who roamed the verdant forests that surrounded their home, in search of food and play. They were proud and majestic creatures, with long tusks that curved up towards the sky, and thick, shaggy fur that protected them from the elements. The Mammoths were a peaceful tribe, and they lived in harmony with all the other creatures in the forest. They were known for their kindness and their generosity, and many of the smaller creatures in the forest looked up to them as protectors and friends. The Mammoths had a deep connection to nature and the world around them. They knew every inch of the forest and could navigate through it with ease, using their keen sense of smell and their powerful memories. They understood the seasons and the cycles of nature, and they lived in balance with the land, taking only what they needed and giving back what they could. Despite their size and strength, the Mammoths were not invincible. They faced challenges and dangers in their world, just like any other creature. There were predators in the forest, who saw the Mammoths as a source of food. There were harsh winters, where food and water were scarce, and the Mammoths had to rely on their instincts and their resilience to survive. But the Mammoths were not afraid of these challenges. They faced them head-on, with bravery and courage. They had a deep sense of community, and they looked out for each other, sharing food and resources when times were tough. They knew that they were stronger together than they were alone, and they worked as a team to overcome any obstacle. One of the greatest challenges that the Mammoths faced was the encroachment of humans on their land. As humans began to settle in the nearby valleys, they started to clear the forests, destroying the Mammoths' natural habitat. The Mammoths watched with sadness as their home was destroyed, and they knew that they had to do something to protect themselves and their land. The Mammoths organized themselves into a council, with the wisest and most experienced among them leading the way. They decided that they needed to take action to stop the humans from destroying their home. They began to reach out to other creatures in the forest, forming alliances and building coalitions. Together, the Mammoths and their allies worked to raise awareness about the destruction of the forest. They talked to the humans, trying to reason with them and persuade them to stop cutting down the trees. They organized protests and demonstrations, trying to get the attention of the wider world and bring pressure to bear on humans. The Mammoths knew that they faced an uphill battle, but they were determined to protect their home. They knew that the forest was not just their home, but the home of countless other creatures as well, and they felt a deep responsibility to protect it. As time went on, the Mammoths and their allies began to make progress. They convinced some of the humans to stop cutting down the trees, and they worked with others to create protected areas within the forest. They continued to raise awareness and to fight for their cause, even in the face of resistance and opposition. Eventually, the humans began to see the error of their ways. They realized that they had been destroying something precious and irreplaceable, and they started to work with the Mammoths and their allies to protect the forest. They set up conservation programs and reforestation projects, and they started to work towards a future where humans and nature could coexist in harmony. The Mammoths watched with pride as their home was restored and protected. They knew that their efforts had made a difference, and they felt a deep sense of satisfaction and gratitude. They had worked tirelessly to protect their home, and their hard work had paid off. Over time, the Mammoths became known as champions of the forest. They were respected and admired by all the creatures in the forest, who saw them as symbols of strength and determination. They continued to live in harmony with nature, cherishing the land that they had fought so hard to protect. Despite the challenges that they had faced, the Mammoths remained optimistic about the future. They knew that there would always be challenges and obstacles to overcome, but they felt confident in their ability to face them with bravery and resilience. The Mammoths were used to spending their days playing and having fun in the forest. They would roam around, grazing on the lush greenery, splashing in the streams, and playing games with each other. They enjoyed the simple pleasures of life and never worried about the future. But one day, something unusual happened. The sky, which was always blue and clear, began to change. It started with a faint haze, which gradually grew thicker and darker. The Mammoths, who were playing a game of tag, paused to look up at the sky. They saw a huge, ominous cloud moving towards them, covering the sun, and casting a deep shadow over the forest. The Mammoths were confused and frightened. They had never seen anything like this before and didn't know what to make of it. They looked at each other, wondering if they should run or hide, but they could not move. The sky continued to darken, and the cloud grew closer and larger. The Mammoths could hear strange rumbling sounds coming from the cloud, and they felt the ground shaking beneath their feet. Suddenly, the cloud burst open, and a fierce storm descended upon the forest. The wind howled, the rain poured down in sheets, and lightning flashed across the sky. The Mammoths huddled together, trying to find shelter from the storm, but there was none.

Book Description
25 chilling short stories by outstanding female writers. Women have always written exceptional stories of horror and the supernatural. This anthology aims to showcase the very best of these, from Amelia B. Edwards's 'The Phantom Coach', published in 1864, through past luminaries such as Edith Wharton and Mary Elizabeth Braddon, to modern talents including Muriel Gray, Sarah Pinborough and Lilith Saintcrow. From tales of ghostly children to visitations by departed loved ones, and from heart-rending stories to the profoundly unsettling depiction of extreme malevolence, what each of these stories has in common is the effect of a slight chilling of the skin, a feeling of something not quite present, but nevertheless there. If anything, this showcase anthology proves that sometimes the female of the species can also be the most terrifying . . .
