Accidentally walking into the club might possibly have been the best decision Cheryl ever made.
After many unenjoyable years, she started to feel her own music singing itself the moment Theodore gave her a cassette tape that contained a short musical phrase, encouraging her to continue composing from the end of the phrase. So started a long journey to the sense of completeness Cheryl had been yearning to acclaim after many years.

The Ecstasy of Sister Amata
Ten years after leaving their Catholic boarding school, three former classmates meet up at the headmistress's retirement, and find the past still has resonances in the present. This started as my attempt at the Open Novella Contest 2021 (20,000-40,000 words. This is at the upper end of this range.) It didn't get anywhere much, but it was an interesting experiment (and fun to plan and write). ** Music, particularly for organ, plays quite a rôle in this story. Instead of providing accompanying media, I'll list the pieces that feature here, for anyone who wants to chase them up. Apart from Beatrice's (which doesn't exist, obvs) they're all available on YouTube. -JS Bach: Passacaglia & Fugue in C minor (BWV 582) -JG Rheinberger: Sonata no.11 in D minor (Op.148), Cantilène - Adagio * Beatrice's recital: -JS Bach: Prelude & Fugue in G (BWV 541) -Dietrich Buxtehude: Two chorale preludes - 'Ach Herr, mich arme Sünder' (BuxWV 178) / 'Komm, heiliger Geist, Herre Gott' (BuxWV 199) -Joseph Rheinberger: Five Trios (Op.189 1-5) -Niels Gade: Tre Tonestykke (Op.22) -Maurice Duruflé: Suite pour orgue (Op.5): prélude -Beatrice Sullivan: Fantasia on 'Ave Maris Stella' -JS Bach: Chorale prelude on 'Mensch, bewein dein Sünde gross' (BWV 622) -Louis Vierne: Hymne au Soleil (Op.53) * For an idea of the sort of Passion setting Bea mentions in ch.8, try 'St Matthew Passion' by Orlando di Lasso. * (Written February-March-April 2021 )Complete

The Girl with no Emotions (GirlxGirl)
I was only 7 when I met her, but we had an instant connection. We were inseperable. She was always happy and joyful around me, but me on the other hand, I was a completely different story. I suffered a disorder that caused me to have no emotions. I told her my condition and she understood, but one day she dissapeared, I didn't feel sad, worried or angry like I should have. I just continued my day like any other day, but by myself. I continued to have no friends as I got older and talked to no one, but it didn't bother me. I soon became the "weirdo" as most people would say. I became known as the girl with no emotions.Complete

Inside Our Head | NEW STORY
This is not just a story. It is a collection of silent battles. Inside these chapters are different minds, different struggles, and different experiences that people often fail to see or understand. Each story opens a small window into lives affected by mental health conditions, emotional pain, and the weight of being misunderstood by society. From obsessive thoughts that refuse to stop, to overwhelming anxiety, to emotions that feel too heavy to carry alone, each chapter shows how different people fight battles that are invisible to others. Some are aware of what they are going through but cannot simply "stop." Some try to function normally while their minds are in constant conflict. Some are judged, ignored, or misunderstood by the world around them. This book does not exist to label people. It exists to humanize them. Because behind every behavior that others may not understand, there is a person trying their best to survive their own mind. And maybe, in reading these stories, we learn to see them a little more clearly. Not as broken. Not as different. But as human.Complete
