when graham cracked the savoury, he did so in full knowledge that his neighbours were struggling to get by, but after all, that was his crackers, his cheese, his livelihood, not his problem, he thought, as his neighbours knocked at his door and asked for the bare minimum, the milk of human kindness, "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers" said Blanche. whydowedismissandshamethosewhoneedhelp?
ohwell, said those in power, with great power comes great respect and authority, after all, and with great power, respect and authority, comes decisions, the hard ones, to make. For those who look on at those in power, it is easy, to criticise, debate and satirise, for they not know the weighty responsibility that lies on the shoulders of Napoleon. Snowball, the cursed rejected and traitor. He sought to make things harder for his lesser, by responding in kind. There is no kindness in government.

Amazingly, I think you captured a snapshot of my brain at a 3:48 yesterday lol
Always doing something a bit different to everyone else, Paul, and that's why I love your writing. Interesting piece!
I'm breathing! I'm breathing!
One had to read frenetically as it was written this way. One had to read it quickly to understand what you were trying to do and to me is that we all must take a breath once in a while or I totally misinterpreted. Good job.
Deep breaths &..., chilling. Loved the frenetic nature of the formatting, so much like my mind when I think of what he/they/we are doing.
lol..... okay, I did have fun reading!! A bit of a headache, but fun to try!! Great writing - creative as well!!
