He also remembers the terror of having swear words arrive unbidden into his consciousness whilst sitting in church. Along with merely thinking of the forbidden words came the urge to shout them out. A temptation he struggled successfully to resist.
At least in church.
It was a temptation similar to the feeling some people get atop a tall building or cliff. Neel has also managed to resist this temptation.

Ingrid Paulson

She has always loved books and writing short stories, but was surprised one day to discover the story she was working on wasn’t so short any more.
