Comments2Really felt the frosty chill reading 'The desolation of winter'. Complete isolation and loneliness is so intensely captured, man. 'specially got chills when that dog barks at the end. Makes you really appreciate the buzzing life all around us in like spring and summer!! Great piece of work. Love it!
Wow, the dog's bark really hit me. You can feel the biting cold.
