    About this ebook

    Dylan Thomas is probably the most famous writer to use the theme of "into the night," telling readers of his famous poem NOT to "Go gentle into that good night..."

    What does the night hold? In the newest Top Writers Block collection we offer short fiction and several poems on the theme "Into the Night." What will you find? Some mystery. Maybe some drama. Fond memories. Humor. Even horror. We are sure there is something here to help you through that good night. Give us a try.

    In this collection you will find short fiction by Suzy Stewart Dubot, Elizabeth Rowan Keith, and Melissa A. Szydlek. There are several wonderful poems from Barnaby Wilde, Tracey Howard, and Alan Naylor. Remember - Your purchase of this ebook not only supports the creative outlets of independent authors, but also supports charity. Top Writers Block is an international group of writers who continue to donate all of their author proceeds to Sea Shepherd in France, an organization that devotes itself to preserving our seas and oceans and the life within.

      An Anglo/American who has been living in France for over 30 years, she began writing as soon as she retired. It is a passion discovered late in life, but lived to its fullest. With her daughters, she is a vegetarian and a supporter of animal rights. She uses words when she's not protesting in the street. Her website : http://suzystewartdubotbooks.weebly.com/

      At three o’clock in the morning, I was walking the streets of Battersea, once again unable to sleep.

      Streetlights coloured the pavements and roads orange, giving the neighbourhood a warm and cheerful aspect without warming or cheering me. When you’re an insomniac, little will cheer you in the wee hours of the morning. Walking into the night when all reasonable people are sleeping is my way of avoiding those soul-searching questions that annihilate the morale. Not being able to sleep while lying in a bed in the dark, lets the mind pick holes in your life. If I were to remain there without distraction, by morning I would be getting up to a chasm at my feet.

      So, I walk the streets examining the terraces of Victorian houses,
