Not sure about nothingness -

Posted on Thu, 13 Nov 2014

Hi Michael, welcome to ABC Tales. Shout if you;re unsure of how the site works, a very friendly bunch of people. There's lots to like in your first post - very descriptive, the castle metaphor is unexpectedly vivid and fitting. They are the pits...
