Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there.
What you choose to do with them is up to you.
Richard Bach

Gaily I lived as ease and nature taught,
And spent my little life without a thought,
And am amazed that Death, that tyrant grim,
Should think of me, who never thought of him.
René Francois Regnier

VERY IMPORTANT CONTENT WARNING/TRIGGER WARNINGS:

With the changing world, I have been told that I need to be attenuative to what I discuss in my stories. I come from a generation where we didn't have to put disclaimer signs on everything, so I guess I should apologize if I have come across as blase around certain topics. I can assure you, this is not so. The topics I explore are very personal, some I walk a very tight journey with. But, for the sake of those who walk their own journeys - I will say the following and please see this as a warning if you are sensitive to these matters:

The 'Degeneration' series explores the themes of death, life after death, life with an incurable disease and, inevitably, an exploration around the consequences of suicide. This is done with respect to all on a similar journey and perhaps simple acknowledgement that it isn't something that should be taken lightly.

If you struggle with thoughts of suicide and depression, I urge you to get help. Call out, reach out. You are not alone. Many are dedicated to assisting those who are in pain such as yourself.

You can find a list of aid centers here. List of International Suicide Crisis Lines

My stories - to be read in this order.

4) Soon to be released: A Dark Star Rising

Sequel to All Creatures Great and Small. I expect to start posting on this May 2021.

Update November 2020.

If you have been keeping a close eye on my last work, you might have noticed that there has been some subtle changes happening behind the scenes. Some chapters have changed with some small changes, others where noted with more. The most significant changes have been occurring in All Creatures Great and Small. I have done a major overhaul from Chapter 28 onwards. It should all be reread - I apologize for the inconvenience.

A Degeneration in Mass has also been worked on, though it was only to clean it up a little. The plan is to get to Shadow Play at some point as well, but it is a lot of content.

I want to try and finish what I started with this and I can only apologize for the length of time between postings. My journey took me far from writing but I am back.
