One of this weeks prompts was his watch has stopped. Here’s what I came up with in the twenty minutes given for writing. By Genevieve Clovis The bus is stuck in morning traffic and I’m silently cursing everyone around me. Outside the filthy window cars are honking and pedestrians...
By popular demand the writer’s group will be extended an extra four weeks! More info on that later, and probably not here because I’m not overly convinced that this gets read very often or is the kind of place people go to for current or relevant information. It is...
