Story and Poem of the Week and Inspiration Point

Posted by airyfairy:

There is so much good stuff on ABC Tales at the moment that it becomes increasingly difficult to make the week's Picks, which this week have involved much deliberation and pleasurable re-reading. 

Story of the Week is Celticman's 'relapse prevention therapy'.  It's a stunning piece of work, haunting and disturbing, but with an inner strength that makes you want to weep:

Poem of the Week is 'Satellite' by londoncalling79.  It's a brilliant evocation of when you go back home, and everything is the same, and everything is different:
