How many times do we have to say this before our governments act? @primeministeruk.bsky.social What are you doing? @albomp.bsky.social The people of Gaza need aid NOW. Israel must be forced to adhere to international human rights laws. Sanction Israel now.

Hi there! Sorry for the slow acknowledgment reply. I'm finishing up on a big project, but will be hitting the mailbox again this weekend and will finish sending out all the receipts then.

The Israeli Authorities are starving civilians in #Gaza.

Among them are 1 million children.

Lift the siege: allow UNRWA to bring in food and medicines.

Cover for Andrew Cull's WHILE I WAS GONE. There's a staircase smack dab in the middle of an opening in the forest, and it's leading up to a door that's slightly open.

While I Was Gone   Andrew Cull returns with six beautifully crafted short stories

My latest review - a superb short story collection WHILE I WAS GONE from @andrewcull.bsky.social. Down the years I've read all of Andy's fiction, he is one of those authors who deserves to be much better known & widely read. His novel REMAINS is totally unmissable. www.horrordna.com/books/while-...

Videos of bodies of burnt, dismembered children. Images of a small child trapped in a burning school.

How many more dead girls and boys will it take?

The children of Gaza need immediate, collective action to 
stop this once and for all.

Since the end of the ceasefire on 18 March, 1,309 children have reportedly been killed and 3,738 injured.

In total, more than 50,000 children have reportedly been killed or injured since October 2023.

Black and white book cover showing a girl in a pretty white dress missing her head. Where her head should be is the o in comfortable. The title of the book is The Skin We Feel Most Comfortable In. In pink lettering is the author’s name: Craig Wallwork. There’s a quote also in the cover from author Kealan Patrick Burke that says, One of the most impressive books I’ve read in years.

Okay, that's two hundred more emails sent out. I'll be taking my cramped fingers and bleeding eyes away from the PC for a bit now πŸ˜‚. Thanks so much to all of you who've taken the time to send in a story. Don't forget, you've got until 7/2 to get a cryptid tale to us, so there's still time left πŸ–€
