The Story Of Mad Alice Lane - A Dark Masterpiece by Peter Lawlor
Introduction Many years ago in an advert for Land Rover (which I have not yet found on Youtube), I heard a song that has stuck with me ever since. It is ghostly, eerie and atmospheric and has captured the attention of many listeners and viewers.

Saint Patrick's Blind Date. Top Story - March 2023.
This is for the latest Vocal challenge that you can read about below. The limerick only clocks in at thirty words, but I hope it brings a smile to your face. I can't change the font or size in the Vocal editor so took a screenshot of my limerick as well

Problems
Introduction This is a semi-diatribe or rant, but it isn't really. This is a piece on how we expect things to happen and when they don't, it at the least disconcerts us. Part of my psyche wants every single thing that I produce or do to be done in a positive manner. I see many people going mad at the least inconvenience (and usually it is just that and they usually have the means to circumnavigate the problem) and I see people in worse situations who just try to cope under states of duress.

Go Ask Alice
Introduction This story is for the Vocal "Broken Mirror" Challenge which you can read about below. The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own, not surprising because the silvering on the back of the glass was very worn and flaking, so I just saw a shadow reflected there. The glass was covered in hairline cracks so the actual mirror would have to be replaced, but the frame was what had drawn me to it.

Cogitationes De Tempore
Introduction This morning the weather looked quite pleasant so I thought I might just go for a walk around the block. It was cold, there was ice on the puddles. I decided that there wouldn't be any cats out on such a cold day, but I was surprised to see a couple sitting on their doorsteps. The sun was bright and warm but the wind and general temperature was cold.

To Motivate Oneself To Be Motivated
Introduction I am sure that the title has spelling mistakes or grammatical errors but this piece is about trying to kickstart my writing after returning from Alnwick which gave me a lot of inspiration to write stories, although I did manage three over the weekend. I do have a mental problem where I start feeling lazy or as though I have not done something if I do not write.
