Yes, I'm tooting my own horn, actually my 12 year olds. He is a better writer than me, and I'd like to put an extract or two here...

-The house creaked in the howling wind and rocks rolled of their own accord. Suddenly the door flew open and blew apart. Cracks fingered across the crumbling wall and a figure, illuminated by a crack of lightening stood in the doorway. The thunder, like a wolf, gnashed and snapped into every corner of the room. The scream seemed to last forever.-

And as it's the season of goodwill and all that I wonder if some of you might feel so inclined to donate some of your spare cash to a good cause - ABCtales!

It's also a time to buy mugs for one and all - and what better than to buy an ABCtales mug. They're blocking up the leg space under my desk so please do consider it. And they're very nice.

you think it's safe to enter the forums again the loons arrive...Tony, I seem to remember you posting something about a final warning not so long ago!

This is disturbing and about as unsexy as they come. Urgh.

But I love the images - the mountaineering hands is spot on.

Also the rhythm and sound of the ending is perfect.

I'm surprised this was not cherried over 'handle', which was cherried. I like 'handle' a lot but I think this is far superior.

Nice.

Joe
