"Dear World..."
George Sanders, the cad's cad. I really tried to work in his "failed sausage investment" into this. It's not a euphemism though, so I gave up. Image source wikipedia in Public Domain as it is so old.

The Footballer's Fear of the Whistle
Amid the fuss about the death of another, admittedly incredible, footballer from the other side of the world, there's this. It used to be on another site. I wrote it nine years ago the week after his death. I've edited it somewhat. What a terrible waste. Still no explanation of why, although unsubstantiated reports link him to the abuse carried out by boys' coach, Barry Bennell. Anyway, we know the spotlight is hard to give up. Gary Speed (1969-2011).

but you are getting better and better. No, I do: it's practise making perfect, or as near as anything can get to that. You need to be looking at another collection soon. This is extremely good work.

...but as you know I'm writing Moffat III at the moment (12,000 words and counting). I always have a vanity project going, whilst I'm writing a novel. It helps to dive off into something else completely unrelated. Usually, The Picture Ranch or...

don't we know? "This is John, he...we used to know each other." Joan is about 19, John has been away for 20 years.

Anyway, glad you liked it...

One thing you will

find by doing this, is that your description in any prose you do write will be tighter, more compact, more effective, it's something I was told would happen if I wrote more poetry. I'm not completely sure it has for me, but it will for you....

I remember, and the faint smell of Lion pee and Turkish Delight.... hahaha. I do not know anyone who has never explored their parents' wardrobe. When I was 8, my dad's wardrobe had hundreds of football programmes from the 40's and 50's; Rangers...

The father son dynamic is well done. I no longer think Pyser's self-awareness is inappropriate. I was wrong!
Good ending in this section.
Keep 'em coming.

well. One think struck me on reading this one.

We're in Pyser's head here, is he showing some heretofore (I've always wanted to put that word in somewhere un-Moffat-y) unrealised...

love a good nihilistic git as a main character! Fabulous atmosphere, I could almost smell Hot Plate Heaven.
