On that morning when he woke up, he asked God to talk to him. He opened the Bible and read a passage which said: God would give him the greatest of all gifts. Which was God himself.
Arnold Layne had a strange hobby
Collecting clothes
Moonshine, washing line
They suit him fine

On the wall hung a tall mirror
Distorted view
See-through baby blue
He dug it

Oh Arnold Layne, it's not the same
Takes two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Why can't you see

Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne

Now he's caught, a nasty sort of person
They gave him time
Doors bang, chain gang
He hates it

Oh Arnold Layne, it's not the same
Takes two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Why can't you see

Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne don't do it again.

Arnold Layne - Pink Floyd
Today, I am grateful for a certain person, he knows who he is, who encouraged me when I wrote my very first serious story a few short years ago. It was on another, unrelated site and I was exceptionally uncertain about writing it and it being good enough to share..
That story of just over five thousand words was the first time I had written anything like a real story and when I said I wanted to expand it he encouraged me to do so.
That story was called 'The Nurses and the Surgeon' and has now become 'The Nurses', 'Kindred Spirits, Distant Hearts', and 'The Long Road Home' and together they now exceed 270,000 words!

For that initial encouragement, I thank you, Kind Sir.
