    The melody sounded familiar but I couldn’t quite decide where I had heard it before. It was constantly stuck in my head during those days, which was vexing to this composer. I would find it sneaking its way into my writing, snaking through variations and writhing in fugal themes. I dare say it is a melody that continues to haunt me to this very day.My name is Ian McIntosh and I live in a modest cottage just outside a village that is a short distance North of Edinburgh, Scotland. Though I consider it my primary profession, I have exhibited an unexceptional career as a musical composer. To date,...1zbone door

    Autumn Break

    By the time I stepped outside, the leaves were on fire. Red and orangey fallen mess are eclectically scattered across the ground, making a picture of small wildfires in a crazy cold season.

    The Footsteps

    “So my father just remarried. And shockingly my step-mother is not so fond of me. And I guess neither is my father, because he agreed to send me away, to a far away, white, rich all male boarding school. It’s such a fucking cliche, that’s almost embarrassing.” My roommate laughed and smiled. He had a cute smile and kind eyes. A rarity at this school as I had come to find out. “Yep. That is pretty much everyone’s story here.” “I bet” is all I said as I looked down at my hands. This was shit. I wanted my old life back. I missed my mum, terribly and all the time. I did not know what to do with my...1zbone door
