She stared up at the stars, clutching her stuffed Varactyl tightly to her chest, watching as the stars twinkled in the inky blackness above her bed. Normally, her father did not let her leave the shades open at bedtime, but she had been sad today, so open they had remained. Her brother had acted sullen … Continue reading Monthly Writing Challenge (June 2022: A Father’s Day Special)
There once was a blacksmith named Tormund. He lived in a modest cottage with a blue roof with his partner, Brienne.

As I finally emerge from my post-Eurovision Week depression - and a hellish real-world workload - it seemed appropriate to reflect on what has been my second Eurovision.
