LLADOS

Llados Written in the style of Dylan Thomas. In the voice of Richard Burton.To be read Aloud.Standing up.~.~LladosNestling in Snowdon’s shadow; forgotten, unobserved, undisturbed. A slate-lined, hill-pocked, stone-faced, tumble of buildings, battered by the snows and rain and life. But a happy village, despite its fate. For its better times; slate-quarry, sheep-farming, packhorse- guesthouse, journeys-end; crouched in the wind chill valley.

The Thief

Weekly Contest #273

Theme – Don’t tell Anyone THE THIEFThey say you regret the things you could have done but didn’t. What about the things you did? Those unnecessary things, those things you shouldn’t have done. I regret those more. Lost opportunities are lost. But your past stays with you, till you die. You hope. You hope your blighted past is forgotten, never to be discovered, as its unlikely ever to be forgiven. And as all true secrets are, they are only secrets, as long as you don’t tell anyone. But of course, you cannot un-tell it to yourself. You ca...
