About Myself: Married with two wonderful daughters. I have been jotting thoughts for my own amusement and sanity for about 8 years. Thought I'd have a bash more publicly.

Lots goes on inside my bean.

I live in a strange world with a somewhat rarified atmosphere. Sometimes it's fun to not be understood by people.

Sometimes I write from my daydreams, other times I write my own life.

Title article: Angel

Good, I liked it. For me it worked on more than one level. It could be about a person - it made me think of my daughter. But to someone like my dear old ma-in-law it would be about her cat!!! I see it more as about anything or anyone that a person would lean to. Does that make sense?

Title article: On The Mend
Date: 2008-07-17 05:44:33

I could really relate to this. Having been right to the bottom myself and climbing the very steep slope back to the top I can empathise with the narrator. You capture the sadness really well - please tell me it's not autobiographical!!

Title article: The Reluctant Lover
Date: 2008-07-17 05:39:36
Blinder!
Cracking story, well done. Sucked me right in, I was feeling for the guy just wanting to be alone with his lover. Then wallop, that last paragraph is a killer. Good show...

Title article: Packing It All In

A good read. I'd love to know how your mind works, I mean where do you find the inspiration to write on such a subject. Moreover how do you expand what seems like something quite simple into a monologue of that quality? 
Brilliantly done as always. Bravo.

Title article: The Letter
Date: 2008-07-16 10:48:27

Probably all I want to say has already been said. A cautionary tale to all of us who know we should take the time, but never make the time to take. 
Well written, good twist at the end and a story with a moral!

Title article: Because It's There

Phil, 
Yes it is Brooklands. I grew up about a mile from the banking and used to play over there a lot as a kid. 
I took my 10 year old daughter for a walk around the track last summer. I told her stories of my escapades, she thinks that her old man sliding down in a shopping trolley is hillarious.

Title article: Killing Me Softly
Date: 2008-07-04 17:29:15

I thought this was good, you see in my mind the ending was going to be very different. Particularly touched a nerve because I am allergic to poignancy. Example, always drive carefully after going to the hospital to see your child born - that's when you are likely to get killed. Avoid being a hero if once you were totally dependant on others you'll end up in a jam. 
 
By the way have you looked at shortstory.us.com yet? no fake money changes hands...

Title article: The Enigma, Chapter 3
Date: 2008-07-04 06:24:45

It's been suggested that I expand the story into a novella or more. I'm also tempted to keep adding to it as I'm quite taken with the character of Emily. We'll see...

Title article: Engine Trouble
Date: 2008-07-04 06:21:00

At first I thought that perhaps you'd done a grown-ups Thomas the Tank Engine thing, but it soon became clear that the mistake was mine. 
 
It put me very much in mind of works by the likes of Milligan, Seacombe etc. 
 
A good sideways use of language. I very much liked the line "Load Of Old Bull was not one to be trifled with, even if you WERE using packet mixes".

Title article: Coles to Newcastle
Date: 2008-06-24 06:20:16
Clever Title
I enjoyed the word play of the title. Unrequited love is always the greatest love, isn't? What might have been never has arguments or unhappy endings. 
Your story telling gave Harold Coles a certain dignity. Good stuff.
