‘twas not the spark of passion nor the advent of desire but the shudder/shake of terror brought up from her recalls. It’s not to say she didn’t know love hovered near to still her fears but so much more she needed then to make of life a good event. It didn’t come. She called again, again, again, again, until still wrapped in sheer terror she stepped into the world of Gods to re-affirm true love’s avowals. And from that sojourn she awoke not still or settled, calm, peaceful, but lost, bemused, abandoned, in a world of foreigners. She lives today, so they say, within the shadows of the day but you will look and never find that woman who was known to call again, again, again! Helen / 21 October 2009 |

Beautifully written, as usual. I always enjoy your work, but I've told you that already.  |

There are times in our lives when we feel love is just not enough, and thank goodness they pass quickly.  Nicely written Helen. Sláinte mhaith! Mysteria |

Well done, Helen. This is a poignant story of unrequited/lost love. |

Thanks everyone. It is a story based on truth, yes, but actually about my waking up after surgery. That waking and the shaking needs to be forgotten and what better way than to write it out. Helen |
