Never wear a hat indoors. I press my hat firmly to my head and smile. I glance at the busy sidewalk outside of the window before turning my attention towards my journal. I don’t care what people think about me while I am furiously scribbling in my book. Rules are meant to be broken, after [...]

FFFC: Moment of inspiration
“Oh my God!” I pushed my hands against the car window as we were travelling down some random road in Arizona.,. “I have a great idea for a TikTok video. Thing is, I need to pull over right now to get out the car and do it.”My mother was used to my requests and did [...]
FFFC: The open road
(this seriously looks like the idiot Jeremy Clarkson, have you any idea how long it took me to get them out of my head to find a story?) Nothing could beat the freedom of the road or the gust of wind blowing in his hair. Ian absolutely loved his shiny new convertible and was sure [...]

FFFC/WW: Gulping explained
“Can a fish dehydrate?” Daniel asked me.“Well, yes, of course they can.” I looked into the aquarium and pondered my answer. “We need water to survive, and so do they, but they breathe it and we can’t. If we tried to do that, we would drown. This happens to them when they are out of [...]

100 word story: Commonplace
This time last year, everybody was in lockdown and there was a sense of community in the way everybody was helping each other during the time. Time has moved on, and we are all emerging from our cocoons into what we can only describe as a new normal. During that time we all had to [...]
FFFC: Fun and games
Being a clown is not always about fun. Mainly it is. My job after all was to attend children’s parties and performed my tricks and jokes to make their day even better. To be honest, I love my job. I have never had a problem with any of the children that I have dealt with, [...]
FFFC: Wishing
That bridge has become my special spot. It was a place where I would sit and daydream about the life I could have had, and should have had. That car crash had taken more from me than I would have thought possible. My confidence, my ambitions, and my mental health. Everything had declined, and all [...]
FFFC: Conflicted
Brian stared out the window. His thoughts were all over the place, and he did not know which feeling took precedence in his mind. So much that happened over the past week and he did not quite know where he stood anymore. He knew it was perfectly safe to go outside and mix with the [...]
