On living with chronic pain — Permeated by pain, I find little relief. This day has been stain’d, With a whole lot of grief. I cry as I get out of bed, But the tears do not work, They just hurt my head, And make it oh, so much worse. The pain makes it harder still, For…

Taking Back My Creativity — I haven’t really posted much about my art on here. A few years ago, I took quite a big knock to my confidence. I had been asked by someone that I thought was a friend to do a pet portrait. This was a commission and I was expecting payment for…

And some thoughts about that and my writing process — Dear Hearts, Here we are on the cusp of another weekend, and I must admit I’m quite glad that it is Friday today.

The large clock in the corner ticked away the minutes, while the scratch of Professor Dayton’s stylus on the screen of his tablet went on. The sound of it made Allanah shudder…

The Procedure — Tag — The doctor bared his teeth at Tag, in what he guessed was supposed to be a smile. The man wore a white lab coat over a suit that was far too smart to perform surgeries in. He gestured to a chair. “Take a seat.” Tag edged his way into the…
