Extract From an Alternative 11th Night

"Meanwhile my family is sitting in the house with buckets of water and wet blankets ready for the worst. No lights are on in order not to be seen and antagonise the revellers only the light of the street lamps let us see as the venetian blinds are slightly open in order to allow us to peer out at what is happening".

 

The Chevron Themeset

The Aim of this site is simple, to give a platform for anyone who experienced “The Troubles” to express their personal thoughts and feelings of what happened to them and how they where affected. From major incidents to minor events even those humorous moments; all accounts are welcome.

 

You will not agree will everything that is published on this web site as it aims to be all encompassing and is prepared to accept submissions from any quarter. You may not like the story from the Soldier or Police Man just the same as the Soldier or the Police Man may not like the submission from the Terrorist. However all have their story to tell and this is a unique opportunity for all sides to view different perspectives.

 

Your story does not have to be a literary work of genius in fact “a troubled past” would prefer for you to submit your story in your own words.

 

The advantage of this site is that you can submit your story without fear of retaliation or recrimination as you can choose to have your work submitted anonymously or if you prefer you can take full credit. All that we ask is that it is your own work and a true and accurate record of what you recall happened.
