Yesterday my class was sent forth into the wilds of Swansea's Singleton Park to try our hands at nature writing. This is what emerged. #swansea #wales #nature

“Ti’n newid dim, nag wyt?” Iestyn laughed, a sentence which Deian caught between both hands, perfectly. He was right. Some people never changed.

Something a friend said on another thread inspired this story. It's an experiment in polyphony, a narrative form that constantly switches POV.
Let me know if you like it.

My latest short story on Medium. Well, it’s more of a novelette, really. Or at least, half of one. It is part of the first third of my WIP, “B.E.A.U.T.”, which is a parody SciFi story about a secret agency in an alternative Earth, Britain, which is tasked with uncovering and dealing with unexplained technology.

If Kirk's killer turns out to be a radical leftist, then colour me surprised. While I acknowledge that some on the left see violence as a solution, they are few. This is more likely to be a MAGA factionalist or a personal issue. Whatever, CK preached hate, and that usually engenders hate back again. I won't celebrate his death, but I'll reserve my tears for the deserving. #charliekirk
