part 11

By Di_Hard on Sun, 15 May 2022

A voice, deep and rumbly, but cosy, too, "HERE'S YOUR WAND, REGN!" , not loud, but it left no room for any other sound in Mary's head. She couldn't...

Latin music. Crickets chirping.

I cannot imagine how

Posted on Tue, 16 Nov 2021

I cannot imagine how indigenous people from forests must feel, the woods are so important to me, but it cannot possibly be the same as for them. This is the appeasement stage, where those in the know are aware there's something terrible out there...

Was totally involved, you have great details, like the bathwater washing over the edge, and the kitchen chair scraping, Bruce going round and round before curling up. It was very moving to read, particularly when he was in the bath. And the end/...

what a great metaphor for aging

We walked the plateau

Flat and scattered green
