My stories
Godot's Ghost
I've read Waiting for Godot about half-a-dozen times and seen it twice on stage many years ago. I can never make up my mind if Godot is God or death, or if Estragon and Vladimir are in Hell or Purgatory or in a care home near Clacton-on-Sea. Anyway, this isn't really about Didi and Gogo.

Don't Ask
So many people in the Armed Forces back in the day - before don't ask don't tell - were living a lie. I'm glad most of them are still friends.

The Esoteric Few

White noise

is played very loud as an "interrogation" technique by most intelligence agencies. That's the point , government people know about Rueda's phone. It's easy enough to keep track of a mobile, even if it's switched off. Teniente Elizondo doesn't...

Hi Ed,

loved this. Any reason for "night-lite" vice "night-light"? You have "nite-lite" at the end. Should "swats" in "swats-for-mocks" be swots (like I was)?
Well done.

heartfelt poetry.
You have a typo in the last line. 'Liaison' looks funny, but is the correct spelling.
I enjoyed this.

You have a typo in para 6
"Her acquaintances or “friends” tend to have somewhat needy themselves,"

I wonder if you could have strung (ho,ho) the reader along a little longer. Not reveal that there are no strings quite yet. No matter. I'd be interested to read part II. Some might protest that your piece is a little over-written, but I think,...

to be working on Moffat III, but changes at Unbound mean that it probably won't be accepted for publication, so I've kind of lost enthusiasm for it. Moffat II No Good Deed is on the final straight before publishing in September, Covid-19...

You have a typo, doubtless caused by your "spool chukka", in para beginning 'In 1969...'
"The bus took us too and from the junior school." You need 'to' here.
An excellent exploration of what...
