Today's writing


Power. Some have it, some don’t. Some wield it, others can’t. It’s what zaps around the world. I wanted to tell Paul about that, to open to him the way you do after sex or even a good laugh session, when you’re relaxed and soft and you just need to share. Instead I watched that little bit of say-so transfer from him to another, felt him lose that little part of his daughter, just the way I’d lost a bit of Max those years ago when I first offered him up to Carol Vulture. Sweet sacrifice, parenthood. Place them on the pyre, then walk away.
