I am a Brummie living in Northampton 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.

Thanks for reading it, donignacio. It's a story I have wanted to write for quite a while. Eric/Skye says it's OK so that's good enough for me. Thanks again. Paul :)

It looks to me as though the George George stories will run and run. It's great when you have invested creative capital in a character and it pays off. Well done for this follow up and good luck having future fun with these tales. Paul

I guess the rules applied by various governments have been increasingly arbitrary over the last couple of years. I just love bees and can forgive them anything. A shaggy dog story told with your customary applomb and humour. Always a good read....
