1: a story told about a past event remembered by the narrator. The Red Pub - by JC Uys III In 2015 I was fresh out of University, working in a dinky bar on the outskirts of the Red Light District of Amsterdam, The Red Pub. Quite the historic little bar, having served as the headquarters …
FERVOUR
1: intense and passionate feeling. The Proposals – by JC Uys III Christmas Eve was the perfect night to propose, all I had to do was choose the right moment.
