Story, Poem and Inspiration Point of the Week.

Well if this first week of the New Year is a portent then we are in for a fantastic twelve months of creative writing!  Deciding what should be promoted to picks of the week is never easy and this week was no different.  But decisions have been made and this week's story is a wonderful piece of flash fiction that its author does so well:
