Story, Poem and Inspiration Point of the Week

We're just about to begin the difficult task of reading through all the wonderful prose and poetry to find the Picks of the Year, but in the meantime here are this week's picks:

Story of the Week goes to Lord of the Flies by Stephen Thom - a fabulously unsettling, disturbing, other-worldly nightmare:

Poem of the Week is Elliot C. Mason's For a Son - a finely constructed piece which has struck a chord with so many of you:

For our Inspiration Point I've borrowed the theme from our Poem of the Week and I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with it - good luck!
