By Jane Hyphen on Sun, 15 Oct 2023

Is That All There Is

By Jane Hyphen on Sat, 26 Aug 2023

Chuck sat on the edge of the bed, staring at his hands. They were smooth, like the hands of a younger man, untouched by hard graft. He was a...

Posted on Wed, 03 Jan 2024

That took a dark turn. I honestly thought this was a gentle peice about the Northern Lights, The part about the man in white fedora attacking a couple and biting them, it happens (a lot in Wales apparently). Then all sorts of carnage unfolding...

Posted on Wed, 03 Jan 2024

A perfect storm in words. I've just moved house and the sounds produced by the high winds are more alarming since I'm yet to figure out what's normal for the building. Awful damage for some out there. Let's hope for more peace and perhaps even...

Posted on Wed, 13 Dec 2023

Your poem is very cleansing, Rhiannon. You've conveyed a strong sense of all that water rushing, studded with wintry natural features, tangled bare branches and leaf litter.

Posted on Wed, 13 Dec 2023

I think his idea was already out of date when he thought of it. All those ideas, locked away in rooms while the world destroys itself. Thank you for reading and commenting, Jenny.

Very creepy throughout. I don't know what happened but I was throughly absorbed and very scared of Mrs Stanton.

Posted on Tue, 12 Dec 2023

Lots to this story. It had the feel of a nineties Christmas when the pubs were heaving and you needed a ticket to get inside, although those high street stores were still thriving back then. There's always an Elliot type character causing trouble...

Posted on Sun, 10 Dec 2023

This reminds me Hans Christian Anderson, the morphing of dreams and reality and the falling snow. I really enjoyed it, a very professional short story with some festive magic thrown in.

Convincing yet utterly freak

Posted on Fri, 08 Dec 2023

Convincing yet utterly freak-unique. Something on his mind made him behave irrationally and lose his keys, the bird got in quite accidentally but on the other hand it feels like dark energy at play and once you get that idea, you're inviting it....

Posted on Tue, 05 Dec 2023

I found your poem to be very calming, as always Jenny. The birds offer us a higher level, removed from the seemingly unsolvable problems of our terrestrial world.
