The days of no return.
A short story
By Graham Williams
A short story
By Graham Williams
I managed to recharge my iPhone but found nothing. No messages or missed calls, so I threw it away. It's another sunny morning that would have once been enjoyed, but now with the heat of the day, it brings the smell of death all around me.
Many around the World celebrated at the end of last year the berth of there saviour and the new year began, as news filtered threw, what was thought to be yet another flue virus, and little notice was taken life went on as normal. The first wave from Chinaquikly crept around the World as we all that are still alive remember. Europ was quick to respond with many lockdowns, and protective measures put in place that saves thousands of deaths. I can only talk for here and is Island. We had suffered some 10 years of Political driven austerity with cuts of 40% to the NHS and the care system the welfare systems as the benefits, and universal credit was more alike to a weapon than a safety net it once was designed to be. Food banks and housing crises and deep underfunding was the English way of life. Poverty was on the rise, and the ugly face of ideology politics turned its eyes away as congratulated itself on a job well done. The chaos to come was on the second wave of the killer virus. This first wave was nothing compared to what was to come.
England started too late with too little, and Suffren from a state of cuts. The world health organisation screamed Test, Teas, Test at the World. Here in the UK nothing but mistake after mistake, and calamity came into sight, someone in guverment whether to save money or just incompetence did not order and keep up the stocks in government hands Personal protection equipment, and although we had invented the venter had to go begging or them and even had hover manufacturers. The car makes trying to make them in desperation. But still, the government shuffled its feet even talking of herd immunity. The first wave killed 60,00o the unlocking began, to early many said. Europ being so much faster at suppressing the vires began to open up. Here in England at last Testing was beginning and a so-called World betting Phone app was introduced that had a little effect as not many used it, The Testing was a calamity and covered with propaganda and downright lies as the political ass saving went into gear, trying so hard not to let the shit stick to there blanket. We had grafts, and experts as the killing fields of care homes became known and understood, as the guverment propaganda kicked in with we had put a ring around the care of Care homes. The old smoke and mirrors came into play. The Mony tree that we were told did not exist as the cuts cam hard and fast over ten years suddenly had aspired, and was shaken and billions paired.
Then we herd in Europ that the vires had returned with a quickness that shocked all in its path, the governments in Europe fort hard and looked down started once again. This Island, with too little too late attitude, was sill unlocking as it turned out to be true to early the Testing fingers were inaccurate, and the test and track was a complete failure, with lie after lie told about it.
The horror of this second wave was that the vires had mutated leaving all the research useless, it had become stronger and more deadly as it swept over Europe and then reported in Italy and back in, china within weeks. It appeared in England at Heathrow airport after a member of staff went down with it, it was as to a passenger that was exempt from the normal tests that were lacking any way as to governments ineptness as we were sill easing the lockdown, and as to the too little too late guverment it came in with a vengeance. The lockdown came too lat.
Over the following month, hell came to earth as lockdown started and the NHS struggled valiantly losing staff, running out of supplies, the large emergency hospitals became filled and the devestashion of the care homes started again as staffing collapsed. And in time all the services became affected. Trafik disappeared for the streets. Food banks that were before the crises were struggling and being to collapse as to staff becoming infected and delivery staff dwindling, our glorious Guvermebt began to collapse as they had no hiding place. The smoke and mirrors and the past lies became clear as the mirrors brock and the smoke cleared from there eyes and minds and fear began to rain. Food riots began, and the dwindling army had been called I to protect the elite and the supermarkets and food chain. In time the riots ended as the delivery drivers fell victim and the food in the fields and the imports failed and stopped coming . there was no more to loot. The nave had been called in and their ships used as places of safety for the elite, but there were no hiding places to be found nowhere was safe. Many of the army and services went home or to barracks to die. Petrol was no more than the electrics failed and we were in the dark.
We buried our dead in our back gardens or in the fields and foraged for food in the empty houses some filed with dead families that we could not enter. The churches to were full of corpses.
There was no crime no looting as it was pointless as we all realised this was finally the end, we just excepted and watched without being able to help the gangs of children roaming around staving as still, they had a better immunity, but it brought them more misery. I am in the house I was born in, and I can see, and hear the birds singing, I have got used to the smell of decaying flesh. I am so now grateful that I feel unwell today, let this be an end. I am to a week now to wright and soon will become fresh meat to the many cats and dogs and the creatures that will, at last, inherit this World, I think they will use this blue planet well after the last of us have gone, better than us I know.
I have to stop and just look out of my window for a while, please forgive my spelling and grammar its neve been my strong point. The how sill that is as there is no one left to ever read it.

To answer the question, how do I physically write with beeing registered as blind.
From Left to right. I have a very large key bored, however, I have been working with key bords for near on 30 years so I know where the letters are and I am a two-finger typist :-)
My Computer screen is long and thin so its meant for writing and the computer its self has a software that makes the computer speak and read letters and words as I write. it runs a Grammarly app on the word document. below there is an Alexa pod that helps with spelling but it's not great it has to be Amerikan, guns they sell to any mad man but Alexa but it refuses to spell the word Basterd :-) Then next to that I have the gib magnifier screen. I can look at maps and things. Next to that at the back is another electrical magnifier Portable. In front of that is My Apple I pad for spelling and research as it too speaks to me and reds internet material Fantastikly I would be lost without it. and next to that is a Read easy scan a read s for me bools and my manuscripts. and Magazines again I would be lost without it.
I write a chapter then do a read threw and make alterations.
then Helen goes over it correcting spellings and grammar, Then it comes back to me and then I go threw it making all the corrections she has pointed out, a very laborious job, for Helen and me. Then I leave it a few days and then read through it again, his is were the editing cutting and rewrites start and end. Once I am satisfied, it gets sent to my Prafeshanal editor to get knocked into shape for printing.
There you have it, I will not go into the lonely long sometimes frustrating days it takes to wright it LOL
Hope that answers all the burning questions asked. :-)
Now you know all this, go forth and by my books. ( Please ) LOL :-) PS Now you know why my spelling and grammar is so bad on Facebook as I just can't be asked to go threw this process, I am to profoundly Deslexsik and mad as a hatter. and Just think BT let me work for them for 30 years in an office on my own,

Christmas.
:-)
Hi all, its that time of year again, Christmas. and I would like to thank my readers and friends who have taken the time to like my page. I am winding down somewhat now that the main part of book 3 is finished, and trying to catch up on things I have been neglecting as I have been writing. Its that time of year that my publisher says I should advertise like mad. OK, so I am trying. so here is a little video of thanks and an add LOL that should keep my publisher happy
Monday, 23 September 2019
The first day back working on book 3 today editing, a long and painful process. BOOK 3 UPdate
So sat down with a cup of tea and stared off into space for a bit, its the beeing and author bit. then turned on the computer and uploaded all the software. then spent, wasted 2Hrs upgrading software! only to find the problem still there with Word. so made another cup of tea and opened up chapter 4 Yuks! lots of spelling and editing small rewrites and add-ins, 5hrs later had a cup f tea and a banana and stared off into space again beeing the author.
printed off the thred draft and listened to it on my scan and speech machine, wonderful bit of kit. as I can then hear how it flows and spot mistakes and odd things that creep in. so then went through it all again, O deep joy.
So Draft 6 finished end of chapter 4. So tomorrow I start on draft 3 of chapter two. its going to be a long day and lots of tea. However, once this is compleat I am free to start a new chapter 5 at last as edating and rewriting slows everything down.
So Chapter 5 Thomas finds himself at Hampton Court and the intreg begins. This is the chapter I have been waiting for, as to all the trips to Hampton court I have made researching. I am amazed no one has thrown me out! as I could be found sitting on stairs and in corners and once laying on the floor for a perspective.
Well, I am pleased with it so far, its made me laugh and cry when I hear it back so I hope it has the same effect on readers as book 1 and 2 has had.
so back to work tomorrow I will let you know how I get on. Thank you for your support and interest as my ego is in need of it. :-)

BOOK CLUB REVIEW
Post by kimmyschemy06
» 30 Aug 2019, 10:20
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of
"Sheep Wasps and the king" by Graham Williams.]
3 out of 4 stars
Sheep, Wasps, and the King is an engaging historical fiction
and the second book in The Master Harry Book Series created by Graham Williams.
It is another summer during the reign of King James and the
population of London is plagued by The Black Death that gives rise to scarcity
and criminality. Jorne, Harry’s master and now adoptive father, keeps his
household safe by deciding to move everyone to his Hillingdon house. As Harry
and his best friend, Thomas, arrive at Hillingdon, however, they are met by
grave news about sheep thieves stealing from Master Jorne’s flock.
To put a stop to the thievery, Master Jorne, the Sheriff and
some of his constables, the Steward of Cranford Manor, and the leaseholder of
Ruislip Manor, Peter Longford, meet up to deal with the unfortunate situation.
Meanwhile, the King and his court live safely and
comfortably in Oxford.
Told in the first-person perspective of Harry, this is an
adventure-filled book with sixteen chapters. The story takes place during the
time of King James I, at the time of the Great Plague. The plot is developed
by, first, describing the appalling condition of the city of London, followed by
introduction of characters, carefully explaining the relationship of each with
one another. Characters, settings, and scenes are described in details making
it easy to visualize not only the people but also the events that take place in
the story. The characters are well-developed and are provided with sufficient
backstories especially the newly-introduced ones. Those from the first book are
given shortened character profile, which, I believe, benefits both those who
read the first book and those who did not. The ending is conclusive enough to
leave a feeling of satisfaction.
Generally, this is one enjoyable book. It is interesting,
intriguing, engaging, and adventure-filled. It is about love, friendship,
family, and kindness as well as indifference, betrayal, duplicity, and even
murder. The part I enjoyed most is the depiction of the character, Urchin. He
is, for me, an enigma. He is trustworthy, reliable and dependable. He is good
at what he does. He mysteriously disappears then reappears exactly when needed.
He gets things done. He makes the story very interesting.
However, mature readers may find the book, somehow, simple
and predictable and may consider the plot more fitting for young adults.
Moreover, the book features homosexual relationships and includes scenes
pertaining to sexual activities between males, which may put-off some readers.
Finally, there are several noticeable errors within the entire book including
missing apostrophe and other punctuation marks (like the oven It must have been
good and We cant do this tonight) and typo errors (like introduced to us to the
other guest and the white shirt and, and yellow hose). They detract from the
overall reading experience.
I, therefore, rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. It is
intriguing and engaging. I recommend it to readers who enjoy historical
fiction. Scenes of sex and violence, however, may not be suitable for young
readers.
