The first two words “The bar…”and “which was a lie” - just from that little denial, I was transported in the first sentence directly into the setting. I felt like I was walking with her every step on her journey to the village and my heart was tight even though she was not afraid. Enjoyed reading this!
Superbly written, with some very evocative turns of phrase, especially that powerful ending. I have been reading your work for some time and I am taken by how your writing has evolved.
Damn good story.
Thank you, it’s good to know people read my stuff.
I was hooked from your first sentence. Fantastic read.
Wow, thank you.

Lovely work. Some beautiful language choices here. Always a pleasure to read.
Thank you, Julian.
Great story! Have you ever written a series?

Yes. Recently starring a female Thai detective with OCD. I have another waiting for editors comments, I’m not expecting much, haha.
Love your stories!
Thank you, Jude. Another one coming later.

Again, thank you. I think the short tales suit me better.
You know Thailand well, Colin...
