Building up of an April Storm, fiction by Pranab Ghosh at Spillwords.com

Caroline Ashley is a clinical psychologist who works for the NHS and lives in Dundee with her husband, two young children and a demanding Siamese cat. She started sharing her work in early 2022, when she realised that there will always be other things to prioritise, but none of them ever really important enough to stop her from making time to do what she loves. Caroline has a particular interest in writing about the human experience through the lens of magic and fantasy. She has been posting a serialised young adult fantasy novel on her website for the past eighteen months and has recently started a blog exploring the links between psychology and storytelling. You can find out more through her social media links.

A gentle breeze touches me and sets my placid waters quivering.
I know it’s your soft touch, inviting me to play with you in the skies.
I’ve been waiting for this moment since dawn,
ready for the sun to steam me up: I am now vapour
transported to varying heights by your warm breezes! ...
