Sinopse

In the not-too-distant future, the world is better than ever. Diseases and disorders have been wiped out. But Jess doesn't belong. She slipped through the net and there's something dangerous in her DNA, something that must be 'cured'. Charlie is watching Jess. He'll do whatever it takes to keep society safe.
As debate over genetic screening rages, Tomcat asks how far will we go to keep humanity healthy? When you can learn everything about a person from a computer screen, is there anything left to discover?

Tomcat by James Rushbrooke was the winner of the 2015 Papatango New Writing Prize in association with Southwark Playhouse, London, where it premiered in October 2015.

Even as he grew up on the edge of Lewis, the vastness of Russia never felt too distant for Donald S Murray. Its great literary traditions were often discussed in his home village, while the political unrest and religious fervour that marked its past and present were occassionally reflected in his life on the island. Inspired by the Russian canon, the songs, verse and stories contained within these pages draw upon the experiences of his youth, shifting continually between myth and history, the absurd and moving, the satirical and everyday. Its extraordinary and diverse narratives underline the truth of its opening line: 'I can see these islands mirror Russia.'

There was a time when I was falling, 
My enemies surrounded me. 
I was wounded and weary. 
I felt so weak unable to fight anymore. 
My eyes were dark and, 
my strength was almost gone. 
I prayed and cried out to God; I felt forsaken. 
I was hurt and felt abandoned. 
Then I reminded myself of his words 
that he will never leave me. 
I cried with my whole heart, 
He heard me and save me from my enemies.

A pretty, dark and eclectic book of poetry by Allpoetry.com's Poet called The Poette.Requiem 
Under the moon's silver glow, 
I could forget everything and live in this moment forever, 
tugs on the heartstrings like a beautiful voice in song, 
words are the dreams the heart makes, 
all now of the dream I have is a requiem.
