The most helpful advice I got
Posted on Wed, 20 Jun 2018

It seemed somehow menacing from the first sentence. I like the wonderful sound details of the familiar, "dragged it gently along the terrace" "cool little bubbles popping" "the bottle making a small guzzling sound" "wings beating out a faint...

Posted on Fri, 29 Jun 2018
