February 2020
Well, we've kind of got used to it being 2020 now haven't
we? I don't think I've typed 2019 by mistake for a couple of weeks now!
So let's carry on as if nothing's happening in the world,
and enjoy another super edition of Winamop.
Our dedicated band of contributors has been working hard
to bring you some fine stories and poetry this month and I'm very pleased to
welcome poet Keith Woodhouse to the fold.
Here we go..
Andrew Lee-Hart takes us forward in
time to a period after something terrible has happened. Things are rather
different to today, although the settings are familiar. Read Turmoil
(A Story From Troublesome Times).
Kushal Poddar introduced himself
with some poems last month, this time he brings us two pieces of flash fiction:
Parallels and Fish. Short but sweet (the stories,
not the fish).

has had a lot of trouble with Mitzie (Winamop passim) but she's gone - hasn't
she? Read The Problem with Mitzie is Resolved and find out.

theologian Meister Eckhart's life. It's called Eckhart

Bunnyand Oh My My.
That's yer lot for now, there'll be more next month.

Winamop was conceived on a
whim, is run on a shoestring, ignored by the many, loved by the few and has
continued unabashed since 2003.
All human life is here,
experienced people, skilled writers and rank amateurs, sometimes they hit the
mark, sometimes they belly-flop (sometimes they mix their metaphors). You pick
up the pieces and make of them what you will. Find out about us
here and about the site here.The contributor's guidelines are

We hope to continue to maintain a showcase
for new writing which will grow as you, dear readers, augment the efforts of
the in-house team. We have over 800 unique pages so far but, quite frankly, we
need more...
Have a good look around and if you feel
that you'd like to contribute in any genre, then don't be shy, send it in! The
copyright remains yours, and you could win a mop (unlikely, as I've run
out).
