The Winter Kid
The Winter Kid follows an old man who has withdrawn from the world, hardened by time and loneliness.
In the stillness of winter, a young boy begins to appear at his door, gently disrupting the man’s carefully guarded routine. Though repeatedly dismissed, the child returns each day — patient and hopeful. One day, he leaves something behind, a small offering which awakens old memories and stirs something long forgotten.
Through memory, small gestures, and the contrast between youth and old, this poem reflects on how warmth and humanity can return even after years of emotional coldness.
The Burden Brothers - A Book of Truth or Lies
In a small village, five brothers are known for their virtues.
Billy is gentle with nature. Vincent eases burdens with the gentleness of his voice. Felix brings people together with warmth and laughter. Edwin invents wonders for curious minds. Arthur listens more than he speaks.
But when dusk settles in, a different narrative emerges.
Rumours coil through the village - tales of cruelty hidden behind compassion, of sinister feasts and poisoned wells.
The Burden Brothers makes you ponder the perilous boundary between what we see and what we suspect.
Are the brothers simply victims of restless imagination? Or has the village sensed a truth too terrible to face?
The truth, perhaps, depends on who is telling the tale.
