It was pointed out to me recently that its been a year since I've added a post here (which is partly a reflection on the lack of things I have that aren't already archived, and partly a sign that I've been a bit too busy to deal with things)
So, to add something, here's a previously unseen story...
...or, at least, a very rough first draft of a short story I whipped up a couple of years ago and couldn't work out any published version I was happy with.
*My wholehearted apologies go to the couple of people I've previously shared this with for my laziness and lack of skill in making it better..
