Come and Look
"Come and look!" She signaled from her tiny bed, "Come and see my new babies all still very red, Their tiny little bodies all naked and new, And I promise to try my best to prove my skills true, To be a great mum, I know your wish is for me, With these six little … Continue reading Come and Look

A Pinch of Sand
I found some old short stories written in a notebook several years ago. I'm going to try and recover them by typing them up and sharing here. Try being the key word as the ink has long since faded. Here's the first one: A Pinch of Sand When I look up in the sky, I … Continue reading A Pinch of Sand
Hidden Prejudices
For the most part of my life, I've listened to one radio station; 2CH. It was my father's favourite station, and years after he's passed, it's my way of keeping close to him.

Some times my dreams are just weird. One of my most recent vivid dreams was of seeing individually wrapped ice creams falling from the sky. Didn't make any sense until I realised that there was a plane that had collided with something in the sky and was now falling. On it's way down, and I'm … Continue reading Ice creams in the sky
