This is a little bit different to other 'Nob Rainer' stories.

We meet Mathew who is having problems at home.

A Short Story

These are poems about my various emotional states. As with the other collection, these are often angsty.

On occasion, a long-distance love affair becomes reality, bridging the gap between mere fantasy and real-life passion.

(This short story is several years old, but I thought I'd share.)

I am sure many of you, like me, learned this children's nursery rhyme about magpies. According to an old superstition, the number of magpies seen predicts whether you will have good or bad luck. Something I came across subsequently, was the existence of many variations on this rhyme, some more sinister than the children’s version.

One of those is incorporated into this short story about boyhood abuse.
