Thank you, as always your feedback and thoughts are highly valued. It does have a poetic feel to it. It came out of the same writing session as 'The End of the World' and whereas that one is quite surreal, this one was in keeping with the Memoirs novel and I had, and possible still do have plans to incorporate it into the story in some capacity. At the very least it is a small back story and one that is helping get me back into that story's mental space.

The first person was a deliberate continuation of the Memoirs style, but I agree it suits this story. More personal, deep, and darker perspective.

The ideas are actually starting to flow quicker than I can catch them at the moment. That's why I am writing a lot, but remaining in as light a mood about it all as possible. I wish to make the most of this time, but not get too uptight. Perhaps it's what I have learnt along the way about handling stress that has helped me in this process. That is quite possible. Stress kills the body as well as the mind, so there is a connection.
