You weave the reality of

Posted on Thu, 22 Jan 2015

I am much the same age as you

Posted on Sun, 07 Dec 2014

I am much the same age as you Forest and I too feel Christmas can have its limitations. I feel it is there for a reason, many of the main religions have a festival at this time which is about light and people coming together at the darkest time...

Posted on Mon, 15 Sep 2014

Real-seeming and I like your use of layout, Josh. It makes me feel that both characters are young and yet the woman could be well into her forties and the man could be even older. Uses the right number of words too.

Good opening line and stays

Posted on Sun, 03 Aug 2014
