Perfect. I really would have been disappointed, after your fast burn suspense, to hear the words being completed.
As life keeps reminding us, it is fickle and time's time when last orders are called.
It does make me doubt all these great and the goods famous last words. They would be way more believable if just one of them was "AAARRGH!"
I hope my last words are "knock, knock!" and my gravestone says "get off my head!" 😀

[Isimbabi]

This is an audacious piece. Simple, increadibly creative and like Ken Simm. said simply remarkable.

[alanwgraham]

Thanks for your kind review Isimbabi. This bit of writing just seemed to evolve as I put pen to paper. It's always worth making a start to see where it leads.
All the best for the new year.
Alan

[Ken Simm.]

Simply remarkable both in subject and in format. Both increase the feelings wrought by the other. A truly extraordinary piece.

Thanks so much Ken. My initial idea had been just tick tock but when it morphed into tick talk and the format fell into place.
Have a great new year!
