In a body that is failing, a mind wanders two realities. Divided, dying in one and hunted in another. It was never supposed to be this way. Continue reading
A-Z PE Challenge Day 7 (G)
Totally out of the blue….a fellow blogger, coincidentally named Gary, has written a very generous review as part of a challenge he’s working on. Amazing blog so go visit and follow post (bad pun) haste!
G was a tough one. I don’t know why, the letter seems common enough! I pondered for a moment nominating myself but this thought alone seemed so narcissistic I had to banish it from my mind immediately.
An interesting phenomenon has arisen amidst this A-Z challenge. How to find letter specific bloggers? This spurred a google search on how to find bloggers, which was quite unfruitful. There are a few plugins that pretend to be able to do the job but I’m too computer illiterate and lazy to try to find if they are lying or not (the plugins).

The Room That Swallows People
After posting a short extract from a piece called An Absent Child a few kind readers asked for more concerning the series. This is the first part. Posted two years ago before my blog was similarly swallowed by time. For those who have already trolled back, I apologise, but for those who are new to my writing enjoy or turn and run away. It is not for me to decide what’s good or bad but for you as readers to let me know…and if the latter, why?
The paranormal brothers Carmichael witness the demise of an out of time woman in a room with an appetite.

Catastrophising is a word I encountered recently in a mindfulnes course. Full application on internal mental WFT arrived last Eve when Windows 10 popped up a nugget of information saying your data drives stuffed, back it up pronto because I’m not turning on again until it’s fixed. Continue reading
