Inside the Occupation
As a young kid I watched a show on TV, a semblance of Deal or No Deal, and concluded that I wanted to become an economist just like the young girl that confidently won the show and left everyone in awe with her intelligence and wit.

Echoes of Memory: A Still Life of Love and Reflection
There are moments in life that are louder in silence than in sound. They don’t shout, but they resonate. A still image, like the one we see here — a pair of spectacles and a bouquet of flowers lying quietly on a stone surface — becomes a powerful narrative, not because of what is said, but because of what is left unsaid.

Four Years On Vocal
Introduction I started on Vocal over four years ago with this piece, although it seemed to me the focus was on fiction and poetry, two things I had not really touched since school, although there were other "communities" which I did not explore for a while (I have now posted in every community).

The Memory Locksmith The locksmith’s shop sat at the far edge of town, wedged between a crumbling bakery and a florist that hadn’t opened in years. No sign above the door. No hours posted. Just a heavy green door with a brass keyhole so intricate it looked like a puzzle in itself.
