My stories
14 "Laters"
More of this? You ask. Of course, I say. In 2022 around 6% of rough-sleeping homeless/indigent people were veterans. This was down from 22% in 1997. (Good job, charities, but keep going) Not all people who are homeless are sleeping rough. Image author's own.

The Hunting of the Wren
It's a folk-rite of renewal. Like many, in its original form, it is unutterably savage. This is an old poem, (2015) but I've rescued it from an old hard disk because it reminds me of the clips I saw of last night's ridiculous pre-election slanging match.

... Brazil... a player who couldn't head the ball because of eye problems. Tostao at centre forward, when he was really a winger. But they already had two. Rivelinho with his blasted free-kicks. Jairzinho (no not that berk at Middlesbro'), Pele...

In the first para you mix up your tenses. The night wind "blows" but the moon "hung".
Later you have
"At 10:46pm on Friday 3rd December, a random incident occur outside The Beachcomber pub."
Did you start this as all...

You have Long Cheney Jr vice Lon Chaney Jr in the paragraph beginning "A goaty, hairy chap..."
