My stories

Cherry

The Net Caster (Part Eleven)

It hardly mattered in which direction I walked. It was only a matter of time. And there was a figure standing at the end of the street.
Cherry

The Net Caster (Part Ten)

The silver dust coated my skin and lips. A haz-bomb. What contaminants was I taking in through my lungs, my skin, the water I drank?
Cherry

The Net Caster (Part Nine)

Finally, I could start casting a net for Hamish Mansoorian. But the results were impossible.
Cherry

The Net Caster (Part Eight)

I began to shake. The room rippled round me and the options of weeping or going to sleep vied for my attention. Was I a murderer, or just a thief?
Cherry

The Net Caster (Part Seven)

I slid into the mob. Their eyes darted instantly to my face, scanning my forehad, seeking any trace of an Irrevocable Tattoo.

Yes, we are, we are indeed.

Posted on Fri, 21 Jun 2024

Yes, we are, we are indeed. And the worst of us are almost certain to make that leap into the unknown, and all I hope is that when they get wherever they're going they meet the same fate as the human space travellers in 'Don't Look Up'. (If you...

I think we can all sympathise

Posted on Sat, 22 Jun 2024

I think we can all sympathise with Alfred's question. Justice and respect seem fairly basic things to desire - as you say, who would think they could be so difficult!

Thank you for posting this,

Posted on Sat, 22 Jun 2024

Thank you for posting this, Di, definitely one from the heart. It is so sad when young people feel a vote is worthless and they have no investment in democracy. It is very true that many people feel the climate crisis is something vague in the...

Thanks, Ewan. It certainly is

Posted on Wed, 19 Jun 2024

Thanks, Ewan. It certainly is blame the other. I had a conversation with someone the other day who thinks minimum wage is the problem. It's too high, apparently. Destroying businesses. The boats too, of course, destroying everything else, but...

I don't like flying either, but it's worth it to get to Malta. Beautiful place. It's donkey's years since I went but I have very fond memories.

Frank Zappa. You can't go

Posted on Tue, 18 Jun 2024

Frank Zappa. You can't go wrong. Well, not often.

Our two 'Spoons are called the Punchbowl and the Postern Gate. Both of which, despite their ancient and highly respectable origins, seem to sum up Saturday night in our fair city. Punching...

Beware the Hub. For humanity

Posted on Mon, 17 Jun 2024

Beware the Hub. For humanity's sake, beware the Hub.

I love all the observation in these episodes, linking the past and present, how things have changed but melding that seamlessly into the story. Hurry up with the next bit.

Beautifully evocative, and the last line really catches the heart. And, as always, the audio really draws you in.
