I have been writing short stories and several books of poetry for some years now and get great pleasure from so doing.  A brother who also writes remarked on the 'phone one day he wondered what it would be like to just sit down and write from 'scratch' as it were.  Well, I did it there and then and FEAR is the result.  Great drama is happening all around us in unprecedented fashion and will be recorded many times in the future no doubt.  This story just flew into my head as we live through it - hopefully.
