Posted on Fri, 08 May 2026
Hi Jenny, your tearfulness was likely a result of what your gut already knew but couldn't face until your doctor confirmed it in words. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. As others have said, please keep writing about anything you...

I really enjoyed this, Paul. I think you do these spooky stories so well. It's both scary and cosy at the same time, I know that sounds like a contradiction but cosying up to read it, knowing it'll be unsettling.
I much prefer ne'er-do-...
