British Government Minister, the orphanage hunt, the dead boy and the cover-up
New e-book from published writers relating real-life experiences includes a true story about how a post-war British government minister participated in an organised hunt in a Welsh orphanage which ended in a 12 year old boy dying of his injuries.
Online, October 8, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Speak Without Interruption is an international online magazine where writers from across the world can directly showcase their work, publish articles or comment on others' work without fear of editorial interference or censorship.
Earlier this year, several writers within this lively and growing literary community agreed to contribute short stories and poems recounting real life experiences and events with some reference to an actual sexual encounter.
The result is '.... at last!' which comprises some thirty pieces, ranging from the mild - such as Mel Nicolai's early stirrings while playing patient and nurse with a beautiful girl in the school yard and Minnette Coleman's tale of being briefly accosted as a young girl by a middle-aged man - to the explicit - such as Steve Gardner's seduction as a fourteen year old boy by his very own attractive and emotionally desperate 'Mrs. Robinson' and Tim Roux's tale of boys lending each other a hand in the dormitories of one of Britain's top private schools.
Of all the real-life accounts published here, the most shocking is that told in 'Run, rabbit-run' which is the fictional treatment of a true story of a post-war British Government Minister who participated in sex hunts (termed 'rabbit hunts') in an orphanage in Wales. The children would be locked up in the orphanage and an elite party of some twenty rich and influential men would then arrive to hunt them down and sexually abuse them on discovery. On one of these occasions (edescribed in this story) a twelve year old boy was raped six times and subsequently died of his injuries. His body was promptly cut up and disposed of and the scandal was buried. This is a different story from whatever happened in the Jersey orphanage where children's remains were discovered both intact and incinerated last year but the author believes that the two events could have been related, and the account is certainly in keeping with police statements in the course of that investigation.
Contributors to this collection include published authors and poets Minnette Coleman (off-off-Broadway actress, civil rights campaigner and member of the prestigious Harlem Writers' Guild), Robert Ellal (four time cancer survivor and author of 'By These Things Men Live'), Tony Flynn (one of Britain's top poets and author of 'Mermaid's Chair'), Prentiss Gray (a journalist whose column is syndicated throughout America), John Joss (author of 'A Full Accounting' and 'Sierra, Sierra'), Mel Nicolai (author of 'The Case'), Paul Perry (author of 'Buenos Aires Chronicles'), Tim Roux (author of 'The Dance of the Pheasodile' and 'The Blue Food Revolution') and Steve Sangirardi (author of 'Life On The Planet).
'.... at last!', is released as an e-book this week. It will be published in paperback in the spring of 2010.
