The New Housemate

Loud blasts shook the earth releasing a thick ball of black smoke followed by a series of agonising screams. A beautiful village until a few moments ago had now turned to dust.

The Mark

September 5, 2024

A song for the loving heart

June 21, 2023

Anita ambled to the dinner table and set her customary afternoon tea in front of her regular chair. She put a glass of water next to it for her husband and gingerly got seated. Her eyesight had faded, both her knees had been replaced, and eating was now a boring exercise of gulping down without… Read More A song for the loving heart
