    A bleak reminder that in this world of instant communication it becomes so easy to fob someone off , with a foreshortened chat or a quick text . We never know the consequences that will follow . Powerful story with a complimentary darkness to the light in, “ Can’t a guy visit a friend”.
  2. Mmmm, such an interesting prologue , can’t wait for the rest.

    Tangled Puppet

    The past moulds us, the present defines us and the future whispers of what we will move to become. Of course we’re tangled , none can stand alone , a little like Siamese Triplets , bound , dependent but distinct. I loved the thoughts this piece provoked.

    Sad Experiments

    The effort you take to make each piece perfect in itself, is much appreciated , as is your sharing of them with us. Being left bleak and hollow are my own , I own them , but introspection is always good.

    Sad Experiments

    I really like the form , weighty , measured and definite. Perfect for the continuity of imagery flowing through all three of the works . They have however left me feeling a little bleak and hollow , and a lot introspective.

    The Invitation

    What an original way of settling into a new city/ friendship , literally just fall into it. Fantastic story, I’m pleased you’ve beaten the block.

    Herbivore

    “ Herbivore- an animal that only eats plants. “ ( Cambridge English Dictionary) At first I had a great deal of difficulty with reconciling the title and the content. Are we so bound by our nature and physical / mental composition , that despite what we want to believe there is no possible hope of change? Is choice rendered superfluous, by our inability to “ eat” anything but plants/ change our composition? “ Perhaps not,” we are omnivores and as hard as it is to have belief , it is possible to hang on to the choices that opens up. A thought provoking piece. Thank you.
  9. Wow , devastating .

    Chapter 12

    I like Nicky’s idea , a parade with a caravan . Bloody marvelous ! Not Joey’s style though.
  11. Two powerful and emotive poems. The first like sunshine warm and bright , a timeless tribute to a friend . The second , like a storm dark , damning and potent.

    Wolf Moon

    Inspiring , celebratory words . Especially following hard on the heels of the Blue Moon celebrations.

    Another Year

    Introspective words , a thought provoking work. It’s 00h56 here and since reading your words , I’ve sat ( with my drugged dogs) and watched the neighbours pour small fortunes of fiery aspirations into the heavens and wondered , will they last the night ? Will they make shit happen ? Happy New Year , wishing you happiness , health and prosperity .

    A Year

    A beautiful sentiment, we can’t erase what is written in the book of life , we can turn the page, and sketch out a whole new story filled with possibilities. Wishing you Health , Wealth and Happiness for 2018.

    Chapter 10

    I empathize with Tina, but at least a lengthy deception has ended and both parties can now pursue happiness.... maybe ? The feeling is there , that Tina wasn’t completely clueless, her comment on waiting patiently for him, seems to speak volumes.

    Elven Wishes

    Fantastic..... hot elves seem to be the plat de jour, where do I go to get a serving? Save for G.A. that is? Merry Christmas.

    The Gift

    Goodness , don’t I just want an elf for Christmas .... be an elf for Christmas .... for an elf to squeeze my bobble and then to clean up the dust . Such fun , an unusually different tale. Merry Christmas!
  20. Crackers are a must at Christmas , especially personalized ones , they bring such pleasure. I loved that you brought your originality in, mixing cultures , naughty and nice and that the boys unwrapping began with a snap and a ... bang. Merry Christmas.

    The Story

    Wonderful ......dark , mysterious and hinting at the older mystery traditions surrounding this time of the year, not all of them warm and fluffy .

    Christmas Day

    Lovely story, though I couldn’t imagine future Christmasses tied in with anniversaries , would completely topple my control freak equanimity .

    Chapter 1

    What a fantastic feel good Christmas story. Felt real to with the random acts of kindness by strangers getting into the spirit of the season and adventure. Merry Christmas .

    Forgiven

    I’ve always loved the concepts of absolution, exoneration and clemency. So powerful , and in this story ... just fantastic!

    Chapter 9

    A great deal of strength in this chapter , in Gene , Star , Joey and especially Nicky. Pleased to see Gene has realized the bridge to yesterday is just a pale illusion of what the bridge to tomorrow promises.
