Hi Orchid,
Fantastic, thanks for sharing that on Pool, what a strong and bitter sweet piece! I really got a lot out of that story, I especially liked the way you handled the pictorial representation of it as well. A great evocation of a blurry city night in Green Park.
Cheers John

Wow, powerful piece There must be a term that goes beyond 'first person perspective'... a kind of 'in the lap' perspective perhaps, of what goes down at the Wall?! Anyway, it packs quite a punch.
I did find it cut out around 7 minutes, but not sure if that's my computer or what... So I missed the end - oh no, what happens next?
Technically I'm not sure about the mic positioning... there is some popping, whch indicates you're too close and yet we haven't got the intimacy that you'd expect from such a close record - which means I guess if you can get hold of a better microphone that gives more depth and dimension to the voice that might help - and give an even closer blow by blow sense of what's going on. Goodness. the metaphors available on this subject are quite something aren't they.
I like the imagery, and the way you use it.
Nice one.
