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).

An ominous, brooding tale ultimately ending with the light of dawn. Another fantastic story in different senses of the word. Paul :)

"Spikey case around soft mattress..." You have captured the life and times of a horse-chestnut with poetic panache. I have seen squirrels disappearing with whole ones in their mouth recently. It's quite a sight! Hoping most end up becoming trees...

I hope Alfred shuns the yoke of employment and continues writing. Just be careful with energy usage and write by candle light if necessary! :)

Queen Elizabeth took her Christian faith seriously. She was devout, by all accounts. Monday was a day of shared mourning. Your poem says so much, so appropriately. Paul
