‘Come to my bedroom, hatted boy,’ Juliet said. ‘I must test you.’
He followed her. She showed him a drawing that a little prince had given her. To the undiscerning eye it looked like a hat.
‘Tis most monstrous!’ he said. ‘An elephant swallowed by a boa!’
‘Good answer boy!’

I write as a way of life: stories, blogs, articles, almost-poems. I'm a freelancer, a vegetarian, and I listen to Leonard Cohen and enjoy French films. We are dying a little more with each new day we live, so shouldn't we make the most of our time?
