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.
I have new stories being published in 2023 by @darkwinterlit along with appearing in anthologies by @thealienbuddha and @LoftPublishing (horror anthology at ABP and Anthology Vol V at Loft).

Vivid and evocative. I could picture the path of the animal in the wild. Very nicely done, Jenny. Paul :)

"...Or maybe they could grow an extra brain, with which to make even more money?"
Yes "Growth! Growth! Growth!" It all sounds so easy....until you have to come up with a plan. Poor, old Liz forgot about that bit!

It's funny how Yew trees are associated with graveyards but a truism, I think. This time of year is a rare moment where there is a collective effort to connect to the Departed. They are with us always. Enjoyed the ethereal feel of your poem. You...
