Oh wow—this stopped me cold.
What a beautiful, quietly powerful memory to share.. There’s something so tender about the way you described Paul’s tradition, slipping that £10 through the door like a small, steady light in the dark. And now...

Oh wow—thank you so much! Your comment honestly means more than I can say. I’ve been writing stories since before I was a teenager, but reading this made something click in a way I didn’t expect. I’ve wanted to try publishing again—but...

Thank you so much for your comment, Frances! It means a lot to me. The old couple did sell the house, yes, though it still feels like their presence lingers in a way. I’ve been toying with the idea of turning this into a novella, with several...

I really enjoyed this—your stream-of-consciousness style is so natural and relatable, it feels like sitting inside someone’s morning brainfog and just riding the current.
And your bit about the news? Spot on. I stopped watching it years...

Thanks so much, Tom! I’m really glad the spacing worked for you—I’ve been experimenting with rhythm and breath on the page, especially in pieces like this where the atmosphere creeps in slowly. It's also easier on the eyes, easier for the...
