'Deep inside the grotto of my childhood innocence was a rational adult preparing to murder the sentry of youth'. The Moss Wall is a story of a ten year old boy told by his adult self. The boy is victimised at school by the headmaster and most of his fellow pupils. He endures beatings, humiliation and taunts that teaches him hatred and revenge. When the local School Inspector threatens his mother, he is pushed to the edge and plans a calculated attack. What emerges from this novella, is a story of love and hate, of mythical spirits and shadows of people who have sufferings far greater than his own. Enter the world of a ten year old boy in 1974 Northern Ireland and observe the innocence of logic and the subconscious reflection of a country bleeding to death.
