Really good, Daeds – and IMO we could all go out and respond publicly to your and Kaz’s FB posts with words to recognise how good this story is. Fantastic.

Some of you might remember my story The Living from last year’s Den winter challenge. I’m pleased to say it has finally (in slightly evolved form) found a publisher in the shape of Barren magazine issue #13, now available to read online https://barrenmagazine.com/the-living/
