Ah ha, beautifully written, Matthew.
(when I eventually found it – so many authors!)
Thanks Chris. I know it’s a bit of a scrolling job – apologies! It won’t let me link to the storybitself for some reason!
Wow ! this is a powerful write, Matthew; took some time to get there — a cast of thousands — but if they are all as good as yours …..
Thanks John. A good scroll necessary I’m afraid!😆
Great piece, Matthew. Thank god for alphabetical listing!
Thanks Chris and yes, I’d still be looking if it weren’t for that 😄
Congratulations, Matthew! I didn’t succeed in accessing your story via my phone; found your name, but the story didn’t appear. Will try again later via my computer.
Perhaps when you send them a story again, you can adopt the name “Matthew At-Richardson.” 🌞
And I’m delighted to have read it! A beautiful sad story, with the language in the final paragraph elevating your signature eye and ear to new heights, I believe. The words and images simply cascaded one after another. Superb!
Thanks so much Annie! I enjoyed writing this one, strange as it may seem.
Not strange at all, Matthew.
