OK - so I've been (still are) ill and because it's resulted in loss of sleep (pain) and having some middle of the night hours waiting for more pain-killing pills to take effect and thus having time to tap away on a laptop (non-writing posts etc.) - I have indulged myself.
I think it's high time that I showed what I am made of. I can write. I want to write.
Just a departure for a second ... my french doors are open and I can hear an owl very close-by - how wonderful ... My cat just went out for a walk around - hopefully it's not a cat-eating barn owl!
- Back to the above ... writing.
So tonight (early hours of Sunday morning as again [I] am wide awake, having awoken at around 1 a.m., as now typical, and in some pain and stiffness and having got up, made our usual darjeeling tea, seated at the laptop again) - I am going to write a short story off-the-cuff, live and right now. (Oh that's good - cat back in - no barn owl claw marks, no mouse in his mouth - as sometimes happens.)
I'll post the story as a simple post later tonight (this morning). Bear in mind when reading it that it is off-the-cuff and unedited - just as an experiment. Luckily I have the use of both hands (and all fingers for typing) again although as ever my left arm hurts so that may inhibit the length of this story.
Here goes ...
