Destination B

By Lee A Jackson

Five short stories about reaching out for something, trying to get somewhere. The stories range from not being able to reach a destination, such as in the Everyman who experiences the outside world vicariously through those he watches, to trying to reach a place of acceptance that Poppy turns to the Worry Tree to find, to the lingering effects of past destinations and where they leave us in My War Gone By. These are five short stories which will take you on your own journey.

The Beginning: I began writing in my mid to late teens, sequestered away in my bedroom in rural south west England. The writing was borne out of a need to express myself and to communicate with the world, something I was not good at doing verbally. It became an outlet for me and my writing grew with me through the years.The Middle: The writing stuck with me, and the style and nature of my writing naturally evolved as my life changed. Longer stories started coming along, and I even went through a period of planning and organising stories out before actually writing anything. That flew in the face of the disorganised nature where I would just write everything in one go from a single thought such as a title or a name. Still through a lack of self belief, everything was kept close to my chest. That and habitual procrastination.The End: For the longest time I had a fear of being forgotten and the way I figured to combat that would be to have a published book sat on a library shelf somewhere. I would have indelibly left my mark somewhere, long after I passed. That was a motivation in the back of my subconscious mind somewhere and still to this day, the enduring nature of my words in print following my end, is comforting.
