Three years.
It now seems like a lifetime ago.
I had passion, a leitmotif, and I wrote Poetry back then.
I got a poem and a short story published in this book (free pdf by Cork City Libraries)
Thanks for the character name’s suggestion and the prompt that although indirectly, triggered the idea for the story: it was a natural phenomenon and I cannot recall its technical name, but it led me to a gravity hill in Sligo, locally known as «the magic road», the title I used for my story, although the meaning is different.
The character’s name was Seamus and I unfairly condemned poor Seamus to an uncertain ending…
But one day I’ll bring him back to redeem himself. He’s my guy.
