I just want to take the time to thank you for reading this piece. It’s not often I put myself out there in this way, and I debated for a while on whether to post it or not – but at the end of the day, anxiety can be a real issue for a lot of people, a serious medical condition that should have more attention and understanding from everybody. I’m still looking inwards, trying to understand it myself, and sometimes it’s a real struggle. I just hope if there’s anybody who feels the same that this might help them in some way. Once again, thanks for reading. - Will --- It's been just over three months since I've written anything new for either my Facebook page or my blog,  www.saveuswp.blogspot.com.  How time flies. I've sat in front of my computer for the better part of two months just staring, trying to think of anything to write about - a short fictional piece perhaps, or maybe a movie review of some kind, but no matter how hard I tried, the words simply wouldn&#

Re. my previous piece I uploaded, 'A Tale Of Two Hearts' - I actually wrote that back in August 2015, and I'd never read it back until when I posted it. It brought back a lot of memories, both good and bad, so I thought I'd add a bookend to the piece, something a bit more definitive. I present 'Don't Cry', a sequel piece that shows where Dean and Renee ended up. Enjoy! DON'T CRY - A SHORT BY WILL POWELL And so it went – there was that one, fleeting moment on the dancefloor where something could have happened. Boundaries being pushed, lines being blurred, and Dean conflicted over his emotions and where he stood. Renee was a free spirit, though never the flirty type, which made her actions that evening all the more puzzling. Weeks passed, and the ante increased on each occasion. The occasional hug, hand-holding, heart-to-heart conversation… but was it just mixed signals? Did Renee really just view Dean as a friend and nothing more? Their

With Valentines Day just gone, I wanted to share a piece I wrote back in August 2015. Inspired by the Upstate Sessions version of ‘Gorgeous’ by the super talented X Ambassadors (which I’d STRONGLY suggest listening to here:  https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=Hr9TaQw-L-M ), this short is one I’m particularly proud of. Enjoy! – Will A TALE OF TWO HEARTS – BY WILL POWELL The stars are shining bright  tonight . I finish up my drink and head back indoors to join the others; a night-out on the town, and a well-needed one at that. We’re two-thirds into the year, and yet everything is still the same. Still in the same job, still living at home, and still single. Such is life. As I head back into the club, the booming music comes to a stop, finally. That techno/trance rubbish is what caused me to retreat outside in the first place. The DJ gleefully announces that he’s about to slow it down for a moment, and for any drunken patrons to get onto the dance-floor. I guess that

Hey all! This is a short piece that I originally wrote in June 2015. Considering the potential year ahead, I thought I'd share it with you guys today. It was originally a satire of sorts, but I've decided to keep it more grounded and determined to reflect 2016. Bring it on! - Will LOST IN THE ECHO - BY WILL POWELL I know some people who say that don't or can't dream, and whenever they drop this life-altering bombshell upon me, I find myself filled with pure sadness and unspeakable grief. To dream is to lose yourself in a world of pure imagination, a world that can exist to you and you alone. In my humble opinion, to dream is to truly live. My dreams are often the same. I fall into a deep slumber every night, and a bright and vivid universe suddenly becomes mine to play in. The routine very rarely changes, with me as the multi-millionaire with the mansion and stunning wife to boot. I drive fast cars that I don't know the name of, and hang a
