This story really came to be rather organically rather than instantly. I thought about writing a story about building a guy, something I never really did as a kid as I spent most of my childhood in Scotland where traditional guising isn't really done. However I didn't want it to be just a conversation between a child and parent I wanted there to be some underlying meaning to the story, something I could thread within the context of building a guy. I liked the idea of the guy representing a journey undertaken, a hurdle jumped or a summit reached and that it's destruction would be the pinnacle. I knew the journey would have to be a difficult one and couldn't think of a better theme than a child battling and recovering from Leukaemia given 85% of ALL cases are children. I don't allude to my protagonist having battled cancer because the story isn't about the journey it's about the destination.
Anyway, I hope you like this one as I did. A happy eve of Guy Fawkes story.
Enjoy
