The emotional drainage is

Posted on Wed, 20 Aug 2014

The emotional drainage is well conveyed Phillip, your clipped sentences work well to unbutton this interaction down to bare bones. The only distraction for me is the capitalisation on every line. Know it's a style preference but I often get...

She's inventive and colourful with a tang of Cockney fun. Just like an autumn tart should be.

Really enjoyed this, Phillip.

Posted on Sat, 02 Aug 2014

Really enjoyed this, Phillip. There's a slow burn pace to your narrative and lots of internal considerations which gives depth to your piece.

Posted on Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Much of my life feels like this when I look back. This appealed to me at a personal level, beyond that, the environmental images are gritty, with their own emotional intensity and a certain sort of happy go luckiness that brings it to a chamring...

Posted on Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Clever, this. At first I was carried along by the act of leaving and the guilt ensued, but there's elements of something else at play and dare I say, a sense of generational tit for tat, yet done without malice. It's painfully deep. Mother...

Posted on Mon, 16 Jun 2014

Hi Ben, I like the title of this and the descriptive scene setting. It feels relaxed and contemplative. Familiar with London, it took me there.  That said, I was frustrated that I didn't find out what was wrong with him by the end, I found myself...
