About this ebook
Some personal observations, fears and memories. A selection of pieces that were written in odd books, on scraps of paper or the backs of receipts over the years. Self therapy?
Many pieces are observational of people on trains, or people I have met or worked with. Some are just fantasy. Most I find and don't remember writing.

After years and years of doodles, poems and never finished stories I am trying to concentrate and complete some of them and produce in printed form, more for my own ambition than anything else. The Building is my first complete short story from a recent piece of work, I have already published those poems that I think are nearly there. I have been helped by Sarah Milan in editing The Building and Alejandra Bize for her cover illustration.
