Thank you Turlough - I'm not

Posted on Mon, 14 Apr 2025

Thank you Turlough - I'm not so sure where it will go either. This beginning of a story came from one of those mind spinning mornings, mindless musing while I dressed, but it got lost during the work day and I'm not sure exactly what it is I've ...
