I am a Brummie living in Northampton. I love to write but get distracted with other things. I enjoy horror/fantasy and anything that provokes original thought. My literary heroes are Clive Barker, Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe and HP Lovecraft.
I think that everyone should read George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four .
I have short stories published in a horror anthology by @thealienbuddha, anthology Vol.IV by @LoftPublishing and flash fiction at @paragraphplanet.
Poems of mine have been published by @thealienbuddha (The Alien Buddha Gets Rejected) and @blackboughpoems (Winter-Christmas Anthology 2023).
I have new stories published in 2023 by @darkwinterlit and @thealienbuddha (Halloween anthology and ABZ55 at ABP) along with appearing in an anthology by @LoftPublishing (Anthology Vol V).

I know nothing at all about Tarkovsky. (I thought he was a right back for Everton) Super poem that makes me wanna look Tarkovsky's work up.

"Is it too late
to find a purpose …
even now?"
Enjoyed the juxtaposition of photos taken years apart. The question asked in the poem is one many ask themselves. Often the answer is no. A thought provoking piece, for sure. Paul

Ach...it's all kamikaze stuff. The first moves of the new chancellor does seem to scream "trickle down economics" which, as we already know, doesn't/don't work. We are all party to a huge casino-style gamble with the country's finances. Strap...

Yes, congratulations on completing a novel-length story. Beautifully crafted throughout. Whimsy and drama. You could definitely edit and publish this if you chose to. Paul

Chains of daisies as an analogy of unity, strength yet peace. The world needs more of this thinking. Nicely done and enjoyed your poem. Paul :)

It's a difficult one. When and how to intervene on a military level. Maybe the Russians will finally get the message. Soon, I hope.

All caught up again. You have my full admiration for the length of the story so far and the consistently high standard you achieve with each episode. You are on course to have a fully fledged novel. Keep going!
