interesting way of presenting somebody suffering from Alzheimer's from the 1st person perspective, pretty well-written and succint and to the point, although i wished it was longer

Neighbours

pretty much voyeuristic, i didn't like much how the way it seems to try too hard to be making the observer sympathetic to the reader, when all it does is just exude some form of self-pity

what my neighbour thinks of me, I'm sure

i can't get past the first few paragraphs - this is just too much verbiage and pornograffiti - worst of the bunch

The Lonely Dreamer

this is passable as song lyrics, as poetry? try harder - as one who have actually studied poetry, i would say the structure would have been lots better if it were blank verse and not divided into quartets

The Landscape of Thought

this is my pick - i pretty much enjoy verbose and pseudo-existentialist themes

Handsomely Trimmed

pretty witty and erm, "British" I suppose, but i didn't find it that funny

Hardyston Point

reads like a screenplay to a conventional contemporary horror movie but i don't think the twist was executed well at all, and you're left with "this is it?"
