MY WRITING
This is a collection of short stories and other writing I have done.
Some of it is fiction, some of it is not – but it is all personal.
I hope you enjoy.

A short story about a man who sails deliberately into a storm.
“A wave crashed down on top of him, soaking him through. The waters were freezing cold.
The human instinct to breathe, to survive, lashed out and took control. It cared nothing for his darkening thoughts or for the echoes of old pain. The body wanted only to survive and to gasp another lungful of air.
The next wave was already cresting up above him. Only two thoughts were permitted in his mind. Steer into it again, or do nothing and die.”

I wrote this 30 years ago after I paddled over Randolph’s Leap in a kayak in Scotland. It still hits me.
