He’s Back!
He’s back ….by Chris Hall
My second cross-continental collaboration with artist, Suzanne Starr.
This story was inspired by Suzanne’s drawing which I saw on my LinkedIn feed. Once again, I found the images of her characters so compelling that I had to write their story.

He’s Back
‘That’s a pretty dress, Miss Clara,’ said the Stork, as the little girl approached him. ‘Oh, but you look sad on your birthday. Why?’ She is so tall now, he thought.
‘I wish I could just fly away like you do,’ Clara looked up at him with her large brown eyes.

Game
Usha’s “Game”….
Life is like a game of scrabble,
You pick dares, you want to dabble,

Creating order
Creating order …..by Sadje
Arranging the blocks and alphabets frantically
She wants to create order out of disorder

Can there be a program to design a child before it comes into the world? It would save so much trouble later. If … Continue reading Artificial Intelligence
