Friday Flash Fiction: Yn Aavuilley Moal

This week I present the 2nd of my stories to have been translated into Manx: Delayed Reaction. For other Manx stories and for Delayed Reaction in other languages, see the left hand side bar.




Yn Aavuilley Moal

’Sy stayd saveenagh eck, s’foddey yn traa v’ayn roish da’n woirrynagh vuillvollee vio-chlaghagh aavuilley.
