Strange Days
This is a piece that didn't make it into the very unreliable Berlin memoir 'In the Mouth of the Bear'. (Available on the 'Zon, in big writing). It's just descriptive, it's not really about anything, so I left it out.

image is PD source wiki commons. Now that Netanyahu is intent on his own Crime of the Century. I thought I'd put all my Guignol, Teutonic Mediaeval, Holocaust, Apocalyptic (basically anything that mentions Totentanz) in the same collection. Don't wait up, it may take some time.

Mono Log
First of all, let's call it prosetry. Well, I've been playing with this one for well over 10 years. My normal mode of working is give the keyboard a bash and then dash.

SF/Dystopian fiction is one of the most difficult genres to write well. The trick - they say - is to make it as matter of fact as possible and Ed has clearly done that here. So that's why it's our Facebook and Twitter Pick of the Day.

VERY lucky with Lola. Most definitely not food obsessed. She has one obsession and one alone... Her ball. Collies have as many things in common as make them different. Lola might be our last dog, but I think she might be the best of a fine bunch...
