Marionette!
You are a writer, my friend! Sorry I have not been able to be on, or write to you, but I'm a veggie, and swamped.
I had to Pin that because you have this brilliant mind that writes sooooo deeply, and I have to read your writing again, because I'm not as brilliant...or brilliant at all! lol.
I miss you! I will write soon, I promise, OK?
Great writer here! Marionette!
Hugs,
Matthew.

A stunning write , well done Marion , you put across panic and helplessness very well . Its feels like it maybe about a hospital waiting room ? Hoping you are keeping well , Chris :)
Hi Chris thankyou so much, very well thanks. Yes, this is about hospital trips in the middle of the night with a loved one suffering MH problems, it's a bit of a strange write because it was a very strange and scary few years...hugs ?
This brings thoughts of some sort of psychiatric hospital to my mind. That ...and a difficult night shift...I am probably way off but that is the picture it painted in my head x
You are right, this speaks of some difficult years when we were back and fore hospital with a loved one suffering MH problems, often woken by police and ambulance in middle of the night... I wanted to try and write it in a warped and off kilter way as it was a warped and off kilter time...thanks Tina...hugs ?
Wow what a write Marion. Kind of manic in the night! Definately comes across! From reading the other comments think you have definately captured that chaotic feeling!! Another original piece. Loved it! Px ??
It is written from a bad time in my life I was hoping to convey that so thankyou P...hugs ?
Oic. Memories and emotions captured in here of those times. Good you can let it out and move on. Px
