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).

Thanks for reading, David. Yes, I guess 1912 was a precursor to the First World War et al.

Made me think of Jim Carrey's "Bruce Almighty" at times. You are such a natural storyteller that shines through in your prose. Looking forward to the next part..

A beautiful moment captured so poignantly. My cherry tree has started to bud last few days. Spring is a magical time of year :)

"Putin is death.." Well it appears so. An end to all wars, amen. And we hope for Ukraine to prevail and peace to reign. Nicely done again, Alfred.

I guess you don't choose who you end up in a ward with. It must be hard not being able to sleep at night and having to listen to other people rambling. Covid as well...slings and arrows, Jean. Your accounts are as absorbing as ever and written so...

It was lovely to hear you read live, Rhiannon. Enjoyed reading the written versions just now (the link to your second story is broken).
Wishing you a peaceful, Good Friday :)

That must have been tough listening to Daphne's ravings. It sounds like she has been through such a lot. 78 week waiting list for neurology?! That's horrendous but probably where the NHS is as a whole. Good on your daughter for being so...

Good to see you so active with these recent rambles, Rhiannon. Another enjoyable walk with you. I like the images of the kites gliding and the sheepdogs at work. Happy Easter to you. Paul

Eesh....sounds like you have been through the mill. I hope the mop up surgery goes well. It always amazes me how well you write these accounts considering what you have gone through. There will be people reading who are going/have gone/will go...
