The Vale - Chapter 7

The Vale - Chapter 6
‘What?’ I laughed nervously, then shrugged and said, ‘I don’t have anything like that.’ Adam shook his head. ‘Of course we don’t need a pass, we’re...

The Vale - Chapter 5
It was so much colder back then, nothing like the soft, Southern air which I find myself gliding through so easily these days. I remember frequent...

The Vale - Part 4 (Adam Believe)
I can remember the exact moment I saw Adam Berry. It was on the first day of secondary school and we had been instructed, via a letter in the post,...

Posted on Fri, 02 Jan 2026
'Funny how a rock-solid world can turn upside down so quickly. It makes you wonder how we stay on our feet at all.'
How true this is. An excellent description of how an infatuation can infect us like a virus, destroying all clear thinking...

Thank you, Insert for the edit and the cherries, much appreciated. I know it's too late for Christmas stories but I'm always behind the curve. I was inspired by The King of the Cats hence their similar names. There is more of this story, as long...

You've really nailed the season there Penny. It's so chilling but you've also given us a sense of both the power and bare beauty of mid-winter. The lady of the cold walks here in your words.

Thanks for the cherries insert. I'm not sure if I should, he needs to accept ageing as a normal part of the human journey and then rewards far deeper than youthful looks will be unlocked.

That was truly a thrilling read, Turlough. Makes me want to drop everything and go and take the smae sort of trip before it somehow becomes unavailable. I would be worried about the sickness though, I'm prone to migraines. At least I can read...

Posted on Mon, 17 Nov 2025

Ha, those silver balls are strange. I haven't seen them for sale for a while, maybe they stopped making them now that everyone has white fillings.
Those awful cup cakes, half made up of piped processed icing. No restraint shown except in...

So clever, not only the poignant words but aesthetically this is stunning to look at, like an unsettling poster.
With everything else going on, we must remember them.

A perfectly formed tribute to Halloween, Jenny. There sure is so much more to this world than both what we are seeing and the ghostly gouls of our own imaginations. No doubt there is a whole lot we don't know even about spiders.

They must have been a powerful force, rowing out on the freezing cold seas, Jenny, in ships they built from scratch. And they left such a mark on us, especially in the North East. Your poem recounts the spirit of those people and how they used...
