And as for my own stories well I can't remember what I wrote last week :-) Stories like this often happen when I don't have a clear story to tell, been a bit low on inspiration this week so I've just started by describing a place or a journey and seeing where it takes me. So no great scheme I am afraid. Interestingly tomorrow's story is called lost at home, I wonder if it will be similar to your story. :-) Garethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06498547549063645097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817214483007465548.post-29416533109526597102017-02-08T19:14:00.648+01:002017-02-08T19:14:00.648+01:00Is that a week of references to famous writers?

At first I couldn't decide whether the atmosphere you created resembles this of Poe's Raven or maybe that of Bronte's Wuthering Heights with Cathy knocking on Heathcliff's window... but then I decided you refer more to your own stories starting with "madam punishing her slave" like in Apocalypse now,through driving in the eye of the storm like in The Eye, then arriving to a hotel, which is one of your favourite places to set a story, great descriptions of rain and storms, ending with feeling the presence of someone who does not really exist like in The Ghost Passenger story. So I decided that after the four years your blog has become a kind of metablog, which is interesting and fun to people who know your stories.<br />P.S. A similar story happened to me a long time ago. Not in a hotel but at home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
