I am a Brummie living in North Somerset who loves to write but gets 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.

Everyone should read George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four .

I have work published by AlienBuddha Press, Loft Books, BlackBough Poems, DarkWinter Literary Magazine and Paragraph Planet.

Adroitly done, Luigi. I missed it being International Dog Day too. My collie cross is 16 years old these days so I can relate to the theme of the poem. He is very definitely my best friend. Enjoyed your poem, of course. Keep well. Paul

Enjoyed another meditation with you, Jenny. Some of these diaries are Zen-like. Words to close your eyes to and breathe. Paul :)

Ah thanks for reading it, David. I do like the fantasy genre and this is probably where you will often find me. A part 3 would unpick the sliding doors idea so here the story rests. Thanks again. Paul
