Completely on the Fly (November). Top Story - November 2025. Content Warning.
Ooh, it's been a few months since I did one of these pieces, and it shows. My mental health is on the floor at the moment, and then I thought, I need to write something on Vocal. I am so ADHD I forgot that I HAD been doing these 'on the fly' pieces - without thought, censorship, or embarrassment. So here I am again!

Peephole (amended version)
(Just now) With a heavy heart I placed my eye once more to the peephole. I knew, somehow, that it would be the last time. The eerie sounds of silence and chaos told me that. What also told me that, was the sight that greeted my wide, staring eye when I looked through. I had to blink several times to take it in. They were all coming for me. The cursed, the infected. Coming up the street towards me in a slow, steady motion, strangely as one, like a walking cloud of sickness, where my house stood at the top, at the end of the terrace.

Can we please stop demonising lack of attraction? . Top Story - August 2025.
I want to talk about something I'm feeling really passionate about in my mid-forties, following twenty-five years of dating and relationship experiences; physical attraction, and the traditional idea of monogamy. Also what I observe from other people's marriages, relationships, and needs.
