David rested against the headstone and eventually slept. He awoke on a cloudy morning in June. He did not want to leave his mother alone the first night. She had passed just like she had wanted to, with David at her side and painless. His bones ached and dew covered him like a sticky blanket. He had been baptized into her death last night. He felt the death hold him like a lover for a moment, dance with him and then she was gone. Her power lingered on him; somehow stained him: a dusky grey.
Now he saw life (not some cheap aura). He saw sea creatures and winged things gliding in and out of humanity. He had on the grave in some ancient dream become a priest. One who sees. His hands were filled with the miniature aquatic beasts sea serpents, whales with songs that he almost understood. The silvery almost wetness slipping unfelt between his fingers circling his palm thrilled him.
He met Cherl a priestess who was dying he saw her life looking to her in resolution.
She had left him a trail of shells to follow black rainbow oysters. She was there at the end of her path chocking and near death she laid her hands of wings and dragons on him and he felt her release
The the air around him thickened and resolved into the sense of a smile.
Cherl was a priestess of death for most of her long life and had seen the darker side of death too many times. She had David find her so he could see death joyous that most incredible rarity. Most people were afraid to die so the life becomes sick and twisted. Cherl had become a priestess at the age of twelve the only survivor of a horrible plane crash she sought comfort and found it with her gift she saw life coming to help her... firemen with life flowing out from them to her.
David was surrounded by life and his first experience with death was beautiful he had no way of knowing what his vision would eventually show him.
All the miniature life he saw was larger fauna: beasts horses unicorns dragons narwhals. After he had seen the demons he would refer to the silver beasts as angels. Because the fear beasts were demons: grotesque humanoid animals out of control. Surfacing when the fear of death is present. They have voices, they chant madness and lies. The final torture before the last breath.
David had seen the beauty of death before he witnessed its potential horror. David couldn't keep his anger in check the demons the injustice made him furious. It brought out his lizard mind, his cold calculating side. He had felt it when he danced with her, her cold smoke spirit.. the reaper.
April Winters was afraid to die she was 7 and had been involved in a crash. The demons were slavering and jeering her soul in agony David became the grey, the scythe, the reaper
the demons stopped. Time stuttered, April passed out and the demons fell like wheat. She passed on in peace.

Are these creature moths attracted to the flame of life or are they life itself I'm writing as if maybe its a combination of both and maybe that is not so bad. David somehow got limited to sea creatures his reaper aspect is of yet undefined. I'll probably have it so that it ends up destroying him maybe how priests shouldn't become gods or maybe how anger is a manifestation of fear and how his own demons begin to surface... we'll see
I know I have to develop his character more maybe what his future would have been if he had not donned the grey. Maybe I'll turn Cherl into his spirit guide maybe she can turn him around before its too late?

Until you write them down…. Dreams are just dreams.
I’m created to listen, understand and help you make those dreams into a reality! All you need to do is write…write, and write some more.
I wear a rich coffee brown reclaimed leather coat, with natural forms on the edges left intact. Open me up and you’ll find I begin and end with the cover of an authentic vintage sheet music book featuring the song ‘Until’. Originating from a music shoppe in Invercargill, New Zealand, you’ll find the business stamp on my inside back cover.
Since dreams are endless, there are 160 sheets (320 pages) of hand-torn, tea-stained 110 gsm paper on which to write, all stitched with archival linen thread. You can write away to your hearts content, and my pages will welcome all forms of dry media. I’ll then bundle them up with my triple leather tie so you can be sure they’ll always be there for you to check back on.
Measuring 4 ½ x 5 3/8th’s of an inch, with a 1 ¼ inch spine, I’ll happily snuggle into bags, panniers satchels and glove boxes ready for that moment when inspiration hits.
I got my gel nails re-done today. This is the last time I'm getting them done for the time being so I decided to go for a colour instead of the French polish I've been having. Then I decided to get some decorations done as well. Why not!
They're shorter than before because I have an essay to write (and type!) and a book to stitch together.
I'm going to let them grow off and give my real nails a chance to recover for a while and maybe get them done again in the summer when I don't have any project work to do.

The Postcard
A postally unused postcard that was printed (although not very well) in England.
Although the card was not posted, someone has used a pen in order to write the following on the divided back:

Cliftonville
Cliftonville is a coastal area of the town of Margate, situated to the east of the main town. It contains the area known as Palm Bay.
The original Palm Bay estate was built in the 1930's as a number of large, wide avenues with detached and semi-detached houses with driveways, garages and gardens. This land was sold by Mr Sidney Simon Van Den Bergh to the Palm Bay Estate Co. on the 23rd. June 1924. Such avenues include Gloucester Avenue and Leicester Avenue.
East Cliftonville
The Palm Bay estate covers the eastern part of Cliftonville, and was fields before the first avenue was built. It extends east beyond Northumberland Avenue and has been developed in phases. The later phase extending eastwards of Princess Margaret Avenue is a modern-style housing estate with small houses largely identical in appearance and of less substantial build quality than the original 1930's estate.
The eastward expansion of Cliftonville has included much of the former parish of Northdown, including Northdown Park and House.
West Cliftonville
West Cliftonville was originally developed as the up-market alternative to bustling Margate, and had many small private hotels and guest houses with outstanding Victorian architecture which catered for the many visitors to what was in the first half of the 20th. century a thriving holiday resort.
Many of the large hotels have been converted into one bed flats; this has brought about positive action from Thanet District Council which introduced selective licensing, ensuring that quality home improvements are maintained by landlords (2006) and restricting planning permission for one bedroom flats (2007).
Cliftonville now has many of its streets protected by conservation area orders. The seafront area once included many large hotels, including at one time a large Butlins complex. Some fantastic hotels remain, e.g. Smiths Court Hotel overlooking the sea, and The Walpole Bay Hotel.
Tourism and visitor numbers have increased in Cliftonville (2018) with the addition of newly opened bed and breakfasts changing the Cliftonville landscape. Northdown Road and Cliff Terrace have also had a resurgence, with many trendy and hip businesses opening up.
The Oval Bandstand and lawns run by community group GRASS Cliftonville bring an opportunity to bring community engagement to Cliftonville, and they host a monthly award-winning farmers' market on the last Sunday of every month.
During the summer there are a number of activities and events, including musical shows. The Tom Thumb Theatre brings a host of music events and theatre to Cliftonville.
Writing and Poetry
During the first half of the 20th. century, Cliftonville was considered the fashionable hotel quarter of Margate. It was during the autumn of 1921 that T. S. Eliot spent a period of convalescence at the Albermarle Hotel. His widow has confirmed that he found inspiration for, and wrote significant sections of 'The Waste Land' in the Grade II listed Nayland Rock promenade shelter.
The spirit of early 20th. century Margate and Cliftonville was caught by John Betjeman (1906 - 1984) in his poem "Margate 1940":
Margate 1940
From out The Queen's Highcliffe for weeks at a stretch
I watched how the mower evaded the vetch,
So that over the putting-course rashes were seen
Of pink and of yellow among the burnt green.
How restful to putt, when the strains of a band
Announced a thé dansant was on at The Grand,
While over the privet, comminglingly clear,
I heard lesser Co-Optimists down by the pier.
How lightly municipal, meltingly tarr'd,
Were the walks through the lawns by the Queen's Promenade
As soft over Cliftonville languished the light
Down Harold Road, Norfolk Road, into the night.
Oh! then what a pleasure to see the ground floor
With tables for two laid as tables for four,
And bottles of sauce and Kia-Ora and squash
Awaiting their owners who'd gone up to wash -
Who had gone up to wash the ozone from their skins
The sand from their legs and the rock from their chins,
To prepare for an evening of dancing and cards
And forget the sea-breeze on the dry promenades.
From third floor and fourth floor the children looked down
Upon ribbons of light in the salt-scented town;
And drowning the trams roared the sound of the sea
As it washed in the shingle the scraps of their tea.
Beside The Queen's Highcliffe now rank grows the vetch,
Now dark is the terrace, a storm-battered stretch;
And I think, as the fairy-lit sights I recall,
It is those we are fighting for, foremost of all.
We know from Betjeman's letters that he visited Margate in 1929 while staying at nearby Birchington with his convalescing employer.
This visit alone would have been sufficient to acquaint him with Margate's pre-war gaiety, the innocent pleasures it offered as a family seaside resort, as well as the more upmarket pretensions of its eastern extension, Cliftonville.
There were probably subsequent visits, one of which must have taken place in the early years of the second World War, as recorded in the poem 'Margate, 1940'.
The evocation of the resort's former glories poignantly conjures up, by contrast, the neglected, bomb-battered desolation it had become.
Note: 'Vetch' is a climbing plant in the pea/legume family. It produces small, pealike flowers (often blue, purple, yellow, or white). It grows quickly and is highly valued in farming for forage (animal feed) and as green manure. Like other legumes, vetches host bacteria on their roots that take nitrogen from the air and convert it into a natural fertilizer, thereby improving soil health.
Cliftonville Lido
The cream coloured Art Deco complex with its porthole windows, bright red roof tiles and four-sided ‘Lido’ beacon has been closed for over 30 years. The swimming pool is now filled with sand.
The lido was built by John Henry Iles, the creator of Dreamland - Margate’s celebrated pleasure park - and was a vibrant part of the town right up until the 1970's, when it was last used as a disco. The swimming pool (where artist Tracey Emin learnt to swim) was finally shut in the 1980's.
The Clifton Baths were listed in 2008 due to their importance in British seaside history - they were one of the earliest surviving sea bathing establishments in the country.
