The Great Wasting is an investigative tale, that follows a slender thread back to the early 1900’s in the West Sierran foothills, USA, where a story is unearthed that some may take as a parable, regarding a medical intervention that was recently rushed onto the market. Many will applaud the parody, but undoubtedly many more will feel somewhat affronted. Then when you consider a sprinkling of ’theys’ and wokes has been stirred in, plus the fact many treated the ’safe and effective’ narrative as a quasi-religion, there could be cause for great seething, with the most outraged having lost sight of the fact---- it’s only a story. The second short tale, ’I give myself to you,’ is a quest for survival set in Mid-Europe, 39,000 BC, that throws fresh light on why our Neanderthal cousins became extinct.The third tale, ’A mathematical incentive,’ set in the late 1950’s England, manages to be both naïve and suggestive, telling what befalls a young innocent as he passes into the confusing world of adolescence.
