The Advocate

In the Head's office, a cartoon by Wendy Cockcroft for If Wishes Were Horses
One thing I've noticed is the rise of racism in our society, post Brexit. Whichever side of that debate you've chosen, you can't argue that it has got worse. The thing is, it has always been there. I took some examples provided by a friend of mine, added some personal experiences, and dropped them into a cauldron, by which I mean my imagination. This is the result.

Viral Spiral

Woman typiing on the internet, a cartoon by Wendy Cockcroft for If Wishes Were Horses
Long ago, I signed up to an internet community and got dogpiled when one of the community members got his friends to join in when he targeted me. Names and details have been fictionalised for entertainment purposes.

View From The Tower

I've been looking for places to post non-fiction prose online, the idea being to make money from my writing. Since other people have the same idea and it takes forever to get paid — assuming the piece is accepted, I've posted it here for now. This is what it's like to be me at the moment.

The Monster

It's been a long time since I last posted anything here. I've been busy with other projects; political blogging on On t'Internet, FM blogging on FM Customer Care Today, and working at my new jobs. Now the Coronavirus crisis is upon us and once more I have a load of free time on my hands. This means I have more time to write, so I'll be going through my old fiction works and will publish them here for your enjoyment. Today's tale is one I submitted for a competition. I won an orange rubber alien and a t-shirt that didn't fit me.
