Sorry but I need to comment too. This is so colourful, Harry, so concentrated like a detailed painting, a painting over a painting with added texture, you've covered every bit of the canvas and made it throughly entertaining to read. I want to...

This is very sad, the story
Posted on Sat, 12 Jul 2025
This is very sad, the story of a lost childhood but worse than that, grief never allowed to be expressed and your value reduced to domestic duty. How lonely this must have been. I wonder how many kids go through similar experiences. Writing will...

Posted on Fri, 16 Feb 2024
