  A Lover, Not a Fighter

  

  By S-Chique00, Dundalk, Ireland

  Mary navigated rows upon rows of identical white pillars. Each only a foot in height, they stretched away in perfect, unbroken lines to the horizon and back, like an endless picket fence. Grazing the tops of the smooth marble monuments as she passed, names and verses swam past her in a blurry stream...

  Stranded (or swimming)

  

  By S-Chique00, Dundalk, Ireland

  The stream of corridors melded Into The grassy verge It was that day again June - her month, when the bees Exchanged their serenades And the water warm Her face in the water, slipping Under the ripples And now, on the corridor Swimming in synthetic blur He leaves the verge but she'...

  East Of The Sun, West Of The Moon by a-ha

  

  By S-Chique00, Dundalk, Ireland

  Being an a-ha fan for a relatively short time, I was pretty naive in terms of the band's incredible wingspan when it comes to genres. “East of the Sun, West of the Moon” marks a confident change of direction for the band, with dark, daring melodies teamed with subtly poetic lyrics. My ini...

  The Disguise

  Alan Shortt awoke to the acrimonious wail of his mobile phone. The ominous sounding 'Mexican Dance' ringtone sent a shiver down his spine. Weeks of trial and failure and a whirlwind of emotions finally culminated in this moment; a phone call which could secure or destroy his future. Grippi...
