I live a slow, peaceful life in the UK, fueled by books and long walks with my dog. I believe the best stories aren't always the loudest, but the ones that linger long after the final page is turned.

The Cedar Chest
PART 3 - FINAL Thirty years later, the rain against the window of the house in York sounded exactly like the rain against the windows of the 4:12 to Darlington.

The Platform at Darlington
PART 2 The old man stepped onto the platform and didn't look back. He didn't need to. He knew exactly what the boy was doing: pressing his face against the glass, eyes wide, fingers trembling as they brushed the two pieces of silk. He knew, because for forty-four years, he had been the boy on the other side of that window, haunted by the ghost of a man who smelled like peppermint and cedar.

The 4:12 to Darlington
PART 1 The 4:12 to Darlington was a vessel of tired echoes. It smelled of damp wool, industrial floor cleaner, and the peculiar, metallic scent of impending rain. Leo sat by the window, his forehead pressed against the vibrating glass, watching the industrial outskirts of the city blur into a smudge of grey and rust. He was sixteen, a huddle of sharp elbows and bruised pride, clutching a backpack that felt heavier than it actually was.

The Weight of the Sky
The ceiling in the Miller household had lowered by another four inches overnight. Arthur noticed it the moment he sat up in bed. His hair, usually a defiant silver tuft, brushed against the textured drywall. He didn't mention it. He simply tilted his head at a forty-five-degree angle and shuffled toward the ensuite bathroom, already accustomed to the necessary contortions.

Remember Me
What brings you to adopt a dog? They are hairy, needy, smelly; they bark, chew on your furniture, poo everywhere. What's the point after all?

Not Sure if You Should be an Au Pair?
First Things First. Before thinking about becoming an au pair, make sure you know all the rules and responsibilities the job imposes.

Love at First Bark
May 16, 2020 There she was, strolling down the dirt path coming our way for the first contact, first sniff, first pat. She had a yellowish harness and pink collar and seemed all happy to go for a walk. Little did she know that would be her last day at the sanctuary.
