This post is in response to Sue Vincent of Daily Echo‘s challenge to write a post of 100 words or less telling what lies beyond the door in the photo.
The little door intrigued me. What or who is on the other side? I’ve been watching for weeks and no one has entered or exited the door.
With much trepidation, I eased the door open. The other side was thick with trees and undergrowth, but I shored up my courage and stealthily ventured in. Suddenly, the undergrowth rustled and a funny looking little man pushed it away from a portal to an underground world.
“Boo!”
Trembling, I ran for the door. The coblynau chuckled until it grew to an all out belly-busting laugh.
That was awesome Michelle. I’m glad you shared it. Here, it should be spring on the other side of that door, but instead there’s another snow. 🙂 Huge hugs.

For once we dodged the snowball — it went east of us, but still cold. Come on spring! 😀

Well done, Michelle. It’s great to read some fiction from your pen. I hadn’t heard of coblynau. I thought they must have been your invention. Thanks for the education. 🙂

Sue. you can go to http://www.mysteriousbritain.co.uk/wales/folklore/the-coblynau.html or to Wikipedia to find them. Someone we know has a business here and that is part of the name of the company. Awhile back he told my husband the history behind the coblynau,

I like the idea that you’ve been watching for weeks and no one entered or exited. Portals and paths are intriguing. I used to work near a window that looked out on a stepping path between houses. There was something special about the sight. But what is a coblynau?

They are mythical creatures that are only about 1 1/2 feet tall. They are said to be ugly, but I thought the looked somewhat like trolls, but cuter. They live in the mines of England, Wales, and Ireland. Some accounts paint them as being benevolent, others more toward evil.
