Excerpt from "The Antique Collector" , featured in "The Book of Apparitions" by Nick Adigu Burke - @ Amazon It wasn't long before the press wrote about a corpse snatcher, operating in and around London... Called me, The Antique Collector... Although my collection was without rival, it lacked sparkle. It didn't quite have that “Wow Factor”, didn't quite have that stand-out piece that you look for. But the heavens must've been smiling on me. Everything fell into place. One Sunday morning, whilst listening to the wireless, it came on the news that Celebrity gangster Terry “The Gun” Gunnarsson hadn't long to live. The reports mentioned that he'd been rushed to Charing Cross hospital. Adding the cancer would kill him within a week. Well, I couldn't miss an opportunity like that - the one and only Terry Gunnarsson. Like a few East-End villains he boxed as a youth. In 1952, he even got his hands on the famous Lonsdale belt - the one given to British boxing champions. However, spent three years at Her Majesty's pleasure, in Belmarsh, for that theft. His roguish ways and best selling books, had him cherished up and down the country. I couldn't miss adding that rough diamond to my collection. Before he died I went down Charing Cross. Paid him a visit. It's not like he wasn't going to die anyway, just gave him a little helping hand, that's all. It went like this - killed, I mean died, buried, dug-up and in my collection within a fortnight - WHAMMO!... #spookystories #darkhumour #shortstory #shortstorycollection #newbook #excerpt #horrorstory #funnystory #zombie #zombiestory #creativemind #creativewriting #thebookofapparitions #NickAdiguBurke #sharedstory #writer #writersofinstagram #fiction #humeroustory #paranormal #supernatural (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq-TqrQspIN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Life Lens - Entry 133

Shared Gazes So, today’s been a bit of a trip, thinking about how I can kinda read people by what they pick up on about me. You know? Like, when someone notices something cool or appreciates a quirk, it’s like a sneak peek into their own vibe. It’s not just about me – it’s this back-and-forth where we share vibes and get a feel for each other. It’s wild how these little moments tell a story,…

(Giving Voice to Depression) Mental illness is a subject that is often stigmatized and misunderstood. The silence around it can make us feel like we’re the only one experiencing it- that we are uniquely flawed. By safely sharing our stories, we can empower each other and break the stigma. Please listen to this week's 19-minute #podcast. https://stories.givingvoicetodepression.com/?p=3886

It’s been years that I’ve been making music...it took me years to have one good year.... I’ve been through so much.... I’ve had people try to close doors on me... I’ve had people throw dirt on my name in hopes that others don’t like me.... but with GOD and my mother’s prayers I couldn’t be stopped... this is my year!!!!

Nima, a suburb of Accra has stereotypically been associated with social vices for a long time. But over the years these erroneous perception of this multicultural and multiethnic community is being eradicated. A lot of factors can be mentioned as to the reason why these negative perceptions are changing, but one major factor is the undying energies and community support of creatives who live and work there. These creatives include musicians, filmmakers, photographers and visual artists. Some years ago Visual artists in Nima led by @larrytech20033 and @b.musah formed a group called Nima Muhinmanchi @nimaartgh to help kids in Nima learn art (mostly painting and photography). Over the years, this organization has trained many children in Nima of which some are now artists. According to @larrytech20033 and @b.musah, the formation of this organization also changed the erroneous perception people in Nima had about art. When they both started working as artists they were advised to stop because it was against Islamic religion. Muslim clerics and family members tried to stop them on many occasions but their persistence and stubbornness pushed continue their practices, and also teach others. NMA continues to train kids for free, and the membership keeps increasing. . . Spent some time with @larrytech20033 at his home in Nima yesterday. . . 📷: Nana Osei - 2017 #nima #Accra #Ghana #Africa #art #artists #communitydevelopment #nma #train #children #photography #painting #sharedstory #development #streetstyle #streetphotography #multiethnic #multicultural #everydayafrica #accrawedey (at NIMA)

Rinasluick

by Douglas Johnston

There are no ghosts at Rinasluick only deer grazing by the rubble from the granite walls.

Piping voices, echo in shrill delight filtered through archival detritus.

A small croft house, one story in height, slated and in good repair. Property of Colonel Farquharson of Invercauld.

Attested by the Revd's Middleton, Campbell & Smith. Of higher authority it seems than those who bide.

There were no deer at the rigs of Rinasluick when bairns ran the boundaries there.

Win, Lose, or Blog: What Blogging Taught Me About Myself

When starting this blogging journey over a year ago I had very specific ideas about what image I would portray to the world. I wanted to be real, honest, and upfront about the realities of life as a woman, motherhood journeys, and give other women a platform to share their stories. So many over the years have provided me so much insight into various lifestyles and situations that I wanted to share those women and all their greatness with the world. Well, when I started sharing I realized that being brutally honest would be a lot harder than I realized because it meant being vulnerable, an emotion I wasn’t as comfortable with as I had led myself to believe. In sharing my story and those of others a flood of memories and emotions that I had convinced myself were old news began to sprout up and I found myself in a familiar place of depression that was growing darker every day. While I love children and all things motherhood, sharing stories of births, fertility treatment, and happy families served as a daily reminder of what I had lost and what was so close yet out of my grasp. I found myself replaying those doctors’ visits, choosing a donor, the excitement of testing and prep, and that faithful day on my bathroom floor where I lost my dream of being a mother. That day when I hung my head in shame because I had failed at the one thing I felt I had been preparing for my whole life. Recalling every doctor visit since then when I would meet a new provider or give my medical history to someone and I have to say that I have suffered a miscarriage and they have that awkward silence and nod. I sit and wonder what they are thinking, and I go to my car after and want to drown my sorrow in alcohol (a former vice of mine among others).  The fact that I had finally begun shaping my dream of writing and working for myself and yet I was so miserable and down was awful. It was ironic that someone who has always been told they have a gift with words couldn’t find the right ones to express the pain I was experiencing. It all came to head over the holidays which are rough for me as they mean the time of year when I lost my baby, lost my marriage ( I was physically abused for the first and last time 7 months after miscarrying and asked for divorce) , and lost the man who raised me to cancer ( we hadn’t spoken in years due to an argument).  It was then I began therapy because I was in so dark a place dealing with this all, plus not writing for months due to the depression, and my illness advancing that I knew I couldn’t get out of the hole alone. To think that all of this began in pursuit of my dream in my mind meant that my dream could never be my reality because I was too weak. This perceived weakness led to more distance from my dream and here I am. Today as I sit with my laptop on my bed with Criminal Minds playing in  the background I still find myself hesitant about sharing because I worry I may still find myself too weak to keep pushing forward. I have pages and pages of ideas that even when too afraid to write I kept track of in hopes that I would one day find my strength. Maybe today is the day. Maybe today is just one of many ups followed by a down, but either way I am putting finger to keyboard because I know that I wouldn’t have been given this passion without a purpose and if nothing else I owe it to everyone who believes in me and myself to keep trying. I am determined to learn this craft, to reach as many as I can, to share my story even on the bad days, and to show the world that even with the bruises come a beauty that this world deserves to see.

ALBERT ATTACKS 

We revisited the common Auckland thoroughfare however picturing it in a very different way. We recorded our walk and imagined stepping into the shoes of the storyteller. What does empathy feel like? how can we enable change?
