ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I don't write enough stories. I don't have enough time. Mostly I write critical pieces, critical of culture and the lives we lead. I find it hard to be objective about my own writing. But then I find it hard to be objective about anyone elses too.

AUTHOR'S OTHER TITLES (1)
Teeth (Short Stories) Sometimes, with regard to the imagination, it is frighteningly easy to become a fool. One man here becomes that fool despite the rather obvious clue indicated by at least one aspect of "reality". [1,344 words]

"It's an often told story and a scene that has been described many times, but I've never read it done as well as that. I'd cut the begining slightly other than that brilliant. Without a doubt one of the best pieces I've read on here. 10/10 and a hot pick. " -- Sooz, Dalton-in-Furness, England, Cumbria.
