There wasn’t any fireworks in our city centre on New Years Eve.
Any official fireworks, that is.
At around a quarter to midnight, when I was sitting comfortably on my couch, gin in hand, a huge bang went off outside.
I raced on to my balcony to find a fireworks display going on in the middle of the street, literally metres away from my apartment window.

Thank you, Jill! Well, I’ve posted stories and poems to The Community Storyboard (neverendingstorydepository.wordpress.com) under my blog name, 1WriteWay. Some of those are also on my blog under the categories Poetry or Ficton (yeah, there’s a typo that I keep meaning to fix). One of these days I’ll set up a page with links to my stuff ;) Thanks for your interest. It’s a great motivator :)
