Story Transcript:

Ga: Sa choill cheomhar de na Sléibhte Chill Mhantáin, bhí cabán beag compordach suite ann. En: In the misty woods of the Sléibhte Chill Mhantáin, there was a small, cozy cabin situated there.

Ga: Ar an bhfómhar, bhí na duilleoga ag titim go fial. En: In the autumn, the leaves were falling abundantly.

Ga: É ina amharc álainn a bhí ann, idir an chinsealach órga agus na duilliúir rua. En: It was a beautiful sight, between the golden birch and the red foliage.

Ga: Bhí Aisling agus Cormac ag obair ann. En: Aisling and Cormac were working there.

Ga: Bhí eagla beag ar Aisling, foilsitheoir nua-aisteach í. En: Aisling, a somewhat anxious publisher, was a little afraid.

Ga: Bhí súil aici a taispeáint cé chomh cumasach agus a bhí sí. En: She hoped to show how capable she was.

Ga: Bhí cóta trom á chaitheamh aici le hiarracht cosc a chur ar fhuacht an tír-raon fiáin. En: She was wearing a heavy coat in an attempt to fend off the chill of the wild terrain.

Ga: Bhí Cormac sa bhothán freisin. En: Cormac was also in the cabin.

Ga: Scríbhneoir mórchontúirteach é Cormac, áfach, bhí bhloc scríbhneoireachta ar cheilt air. En: A writer of great danger, Cormac had writer's block hidden within him, however.

Ga: D'úsáid sé a lámha fada le láimhseáil na smaointe boiseacha sa chabán teolaí. En: He used his long hands to handle the flimsy ideas in the cozy cabin.

Ga: "Bhuel, táimid anseo," arsa Aisling, a bhí ag iarraidh teacht ar chomhsheasamh le Cormac. En: “Well, here we are,” said Aisling, who was trying to find common ground with Cormac.

Ga: Ach bhí a stíl oibre chomh difriúil uaidh. En: But her working style was so different from his.

Ga: "Tá an aimsir... scanrúil," dúirt Cormac, ag féachaint amach ar na scáilí fada sa choill. En: “The weather is... terrifying,” said Cormac, looking out at the long shadows in the forest.

Ga: An séasúr san is mianach do scéilíní uafáis. En: That season was a mine for horror stories.

Ga: Bhí Aisling ag smaoineamh ar smaoineamh nua. En: Aisling was pondering a new idea.

Ga: "Cad faoin scéal le casadh Oíche Shamhna?" En: "What about a story with a Oíche Shamhna twist?"

Ga: "Uff," a dúirt Cormac. En: “Uff,” said Cormac.

Ga: Cheap sé go raibh sé amaideach, ach bhí spark beag in intinn aige. En: He thought it was silly, but there was a little spark in his mind.

Ga: Thosaigh siad ag obair go cúramach le chéile. En: They began to work carefully together.

Ga: Ní raibh sé éasca. En: It wasn't easy.

Ga: Bhí na smaointe ag teacht agus ag dul. En: Ideas were coming and going.

Ga: Go tobann, tháinig stoirm géar. En: Suddenly, a sharp storm came.

Ga: Bhí gaoithe láidir agus báisteach mhór ag lóisteáil ar chaoi an chabáin. En: Strong winds and heavy rain were pounding against the cabin walls.

Ga: Trapped acu, seans gan fáil amach. En: Trapped, with a chance of not getting out.

Ga: Rinne Aisling iarracht fanacht socair. En: Aisling tried to stay calm.

Ga: "B'fhéidir gur comhartha é seo," a dúirt sí. En: "Maybe this is a sign," she said.

Ga: "Ba cheart dúinn leanúint ar aghaidh." En: "We should continue."

Ga: D'aontaigh Cormac leis, cé go raibh sé mearbhallach. En: Cormac agreed, though he was confused.

Ga: Ach, de réir mar a bhí an stoirm ag tóirseáil taobh amuigh, thosaigh an bheirt acu ag cruthú scéal a d'fhirigh le haon treoir. En: But, as the storm raged outside, the two began to create a story that followed no guidance.

Ga: Bhí cúpla uair an chloig lán le ceisteanna agus freagraí. En: There were a few hours full of questions and answers.

Ga: De réir a chéile, tháinig siad ar chomhthuigint. En: Gradually, they reached an understanding.

Ga: Sásta lena saothar, d'fhéach siad ar a chéile. En: Pleased with their work, they looked at each other.

Ga: Bhí meas nua ag Aisling ar an scríbhneoir, a
