He was still startled by the nature of the letter, especially the main part. I was uncertain at first, I didn’t always like or understand what you were doing. You changed and I couldn’t handle it at first. I wanted you to go back to the way I knew you. You have taught me so […]
Read More I Will FollowHe said he would never leave her, but here she was in the dark, afraid and alone. It was a long time since she saw him and the look on his face scared her more than anything. It was as if he didn’t know her. He gave that vacant look as he slowly closed the […]

Read More Getting Used To The Certainty Of UncertaintyIt was not easy getting used to this one. He was not like the old one. Where she was very fond of the old one and had got used to him as a friend, a brother and perhaps with time something more, this new didn’t behave like the old one. She didn’t like it and […]

Read More Altering Awkward ApproachesWhy is she like that? It really annoys me when he behaves like that. How will these bills get paid and I am able to do this that I want to do as well? What if we don’t meet the targets this month, will that mean that our job is threatened? I am told to […]
