It Will Happen Tonight
In a normal little home on the edge of town, it's about to happen. Bathtime. The old water heater has been clanking all afternoon for this. Clean fluffy PJs are warming in the airing cupboard right now. A small girl with sparks in her eyes and a toothy gap under her milk moustache will stand on tiptoe to lean across the sink and squeak her finger through the steam on the mirror. Hot water churning into bubbles in the tub.

The Hunt
The dragon looms over me. It's reptilian stink is almost solid and makes my eyes water. It's breath feels burning hot on my skin. I think maybe some of what I smell is my own hair getting singed. I am completely helpless. Why doesn't it kill me?

Beware of Women in Athleisure Wear. Content Warning.
They were thin and hungry when their (loving) father led them deep into the forest. Two days later, they're weary, dehydrated and thoroughly lost.

Poison Gown. Top Story - August 2024.
I always aim to write these as stand alone stories, but I think I didn't succeed this time! I recommend reading this one first. It is very short, I promise!

My Thoughts on the "Exclusive" Enterprise
A glitch in the matrix The first thing I noticed was that when I clicked on notifications, I was getting a "Page not found". I could still see, from the notifications, where the new comment was. It's a few extra clicks. It's no big deal.

Imposter Syndrome
Guitar-hum thrummed in his body. Surrounded by coiling wires and sheet music, Billy wiped nervous sweat from his brow. Jeez. This is one tough gig.

Famished
Wednesday: I know it's him doing it. I fume at my desk. So hungry. Is that making it worse? No! My therapist said to stop invalidating my feelings. This anger, it's justified. No need to dismiss, downplay or excuse. I've every right to be mad. He's been stealing my damn lunch. When I confronted him, he lied to my face!

Smarter, Not Harder
Emma walked out of her Economics class, and her friend Bryony did a double-take, frowning. "Hey... weren't you just over there? How did you...?"

Just a Game, Mum
Jacob stumbled through the front door, nose bleeding onto his dirty, torn T-shirt. His mum fussed, like mums do. "Jacob! What happened?!"

The Plank
The sun cast a golden hue over the Siren's Fury. Jake stood at her helm and you could tell he was a Captain, even without his hat. His stance was starched by salt and pride, yet fluid to match the sway of the deck.

The Plank - micro
Sunshine cast a golden hue over the ship. Captain Jake's stance was starched by salt and pride, yet fluid to match the sway of the deck.
