Posted on Wed, 07 Feb 2024
I couldn't agree more. I can only imagine that they're one thought deep. My partner was watching some YouTube video featuring Bill Gates speaking about increased productivity for blue and white collar workers and it sounded so out of date even...

I admire the way you have
Posted on Tue, 06 Feb 2024
I admire the way you have woven the drama and terror of the dreamer with the immobile physical self, lifeless, perhaps perspiring in sleep. It's got me wondering where I'll go tonight in my dreams, the hidden room, the toilet with no door?

Posted on Thu, 01 Feb 2024
You have all that evidence and yet you know that if you go to the police, they'll do nothing. Stressful for the main character, taking on all this responsibility.

A beautiful tribute to this season. I particularly enjoyed the final verse. We had a little hint of warmer days today.

There is lots of magic in these lines, it's sort of sad too. I can't bear a dead bird. Those pies are a community, a dynasty. I see them in a different light now with fairies in their hearts. How beautiful.

Very original but the exchanges between members of this family group are fully relatable despite the fantasy quirks you've implemented. Where will this adventure go next?

A sad but ultimately satisfying second part, Paul. So nicely done. I can imagine the silence in their house and the welcome presence of the cat wandering in. I suppose you have to make allowances for people's coping strategies in such sorrowful...

I couldn't agree more, Maxine
Posted on Wed, 17 Jan 2024
I couldn't agree more, Maxine. I get stressed about parking at the best of times so couple that with a trip to hospital and I would be experiencing a stomach-cramp inducing level of anxiety. There should be a free constant shuttle bus service...

This is easy to read, classy
Posted on Wed, 17 Jan 2024
This is easy to read, classy and sort of meditative. It's a perfect short story. Takes me back to very middle-class homes I visited as a child where people were cultured and ate food I'd never heard of and had original artwork on the walls. It...
