"He drove her to a quiet place.

And in the land of guns of course he had one too.

He took it out and in the seamlessness of time.."

 

That is a tragic tale, Jane. An elegiac tribute that is sad to read but so...

Thanks for reading, T. Yes, that was the factory I was thinking of when I read your poem a while back. It was a bit weird that so many people commented on strange smells from factories in the past in your comments thread (including me). The...

"...some sort of cyber spouse kennel.." Made me laugh.

You have captured today's post-university generation in that sharply drawn profile of Annie. As always, lots of understated and clever humour that works so well.

Part 21. Wow!...

Nicely done. Very credible interaction and, as always, you get inside the thoughts and feelings of your characters so deftly.

"We board the ship of fools,
two-by-two, in borrowed shoes,
cross Gulliver’s wide uncharted seas
