“I’m an administrative assistant…open for hiring, could you just take a look at my CV please?” The angel was pleading with him.

Now what? Vezo hadn’t really thought beyond finding his wife, and now that he had her, he wasn’t sure what to do. Where was he going to take her?

Present day.
Buyers in a local supermarket were treated to a rather unusual sight on what seemed to be perfectly dull Sunday.

To be brave in the midst of pain and fear of loss.
Pain has many forms, many colours, and certainly many depths. I wrote this for myself, for catharsis, to purge my soul somewhat of the relentless fear and pain.

A simple guide on containing regret from past decisions
Have you ever made a decision you regret? Choices you wish you never made? Or wished the circumstances surrounding you had been different?
