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.

The last paragraph is ominous

Posted on Thu, 24 Jun 2021

The last paragraph is ominous and a clear signpost. It doesn't look out of place. I guess you need to decide where you pick up now having made it clear about what comes next. Do you jump close to the events you have signalled or take a slower run...
