    I know how you are feeling just now Jill, we have been visiting my Dad who has just had his heart op. He is in Edinburgh for it and we travel through from Dundee. My mum daily. I can only go when I'm not working. Take care of yourself because you'll not be any good to her if you go too far down yourself. xx Jaq

    Sorry to hear that Tammy. Hope you enjoyed it. I sometimes write tipsy, better watch myself. A little bit of solidarity doesn't go amiss. :) Jaq x

Hey Jaq! This is a dark and powerful little piece, sinister and dripping with venom! I guess, as you mention TG as your inspiration for this, that you are referring to the JS saga?
Well composed and great use of alliteration and metaphor.
This one certainly has impact, well done! Liz.x

    So glad you liked it. Yes I did indeed Liz. I don't know him very well but censorship of any kind does not sit well with me. We are our own censors, we have the free will not to read anything that displeases us. :) Jaq x

Hi, Jaq - I only usually review one from each author a day, but just this once.'' :-)

Blimey, this is a bit dark, but sure is dramatic with excellent metaphores and alliteration.

I assume a reviewer has got up your nose. It happens to us all, so best to treat them with contempt if they can't be kind and encouraging when offering critique. Constructive critique should of course be welcomed, but just a few have either no tact or are just nasty by nature.

Watch out for the 'standard' reviewers - they're usually the worse. You can forbid them reviewing by going to 'advanced options' when you post and scrolling down to 'writer reviews' only and clicking and 'save'.

Best wishes, Ray

    Thanks Ray for your great review, once again. I'm sneaking on the site while at work so can't stay on too long. (Well is it lunch time)It was just a wee poem to get something off of my chest. :) Jaq x

    No probs, Jaq.

    I guess it maybe something other than the site then, and writing is a great way to 'get things off our chests'.

    By the way, I rarely review unpromoted posts or much prose, so just letting you know in case you think I'm ignoring you in future. I already spend far too long on site, so I have to be selfish to a degree.

    Hey, I won a 'bonus pump' for reviewing this one, as I spotted and reviewed it as soon as you posted. :-) x

    Not a problem Ray, I am glad of any feedback at all. I do try to promote as many as funds allow :) Jaq x

A chilling read. This gives the reader much to ponder as to the source. Quill and papyrus suggest it is ancient. Modern technology can bring much to light -- but it may be the heart that must figure out if it is true or false.
