Ah, thank you. I am drawn to the dark side ... it's a fun counter to the lightness of life in the country. Dark characters are interesting, I think ... love an anti-hero. Thank you for the encouragement
I’ve now looked at this several times and each time I get this same feeling -- that the man leaving the room is Dorian Gray and that his portrait is behind that curtain. It makes no sense temporally -- this scene, the clothing etc took play long before DG, but the feeling is the same -- I think that man is hiding a big secret. Wonderful to read this again.
Love it, absolutely love it. And as a meanderer how could I not forgive another ....
Ah, I am delighted! Thank you, Harry for the trail of breadcrumbs
Brilliantly orchestrated words Barrie precisely why I love this space!
Enjoy your evening...
Today the words seemed to play their own tune, I was just the conductor! Thank you for the encouragement
I love it. A wonderfully dark interpretation of a piece of art begging for a story to be told.
Jim, that is very kind. Thank you so much for reading and for the encouragement
I walked, I followed.....thank you 🙏
Thank you
I enjoyed this gem, feeling as if I had traveled back in time. Plus, I learned a new word, toff.
Thank you, Bill ... that's very kind. Time travelling toffs, now there's a notion for a tale or two!
"So, ya wanna fight, eh? Sir Marcus of Queensburies rules."
"eh, I ain't never heard of the farking coward."
"Then what rules?"
"Survival. The strongest and quickest wins."
McQuinlan approves, Sir!
I thought he might. In my case, SMQ wouldn't approve of knees to the balls and kicks to the throat.
Martial arts are awesome.
😬
Like I said, survival of the fittest. And yes, that kind of survival hurts like hell sometimes.
Which is why you learn how to block.
Mincing young waste of space....great line, as are so many of the others. You sure have a skill for this!! 🙏

I love this ... perhaps there is a second tale in the picture, another scene to explore ... maybe you'll have a nibble at it?
