WW/FFFC: Disaster
Today should be the happiest of her life. Her wedding day. Yet, here she was with the dress on her knees, crying because everything had collapsed. Her perfect man had deserted her for another woman. I wrote this in response to writing Wednesday and Fandango's flash fiction challenge. I have also made this piece to fit [...]
SPF: Empty streets
Photo courtesy of Unsplash Ever since this happened, this coronavirus quarantine, things have been very different outside my window. My flat overlooks what is usually a very busy intersection. I always said that the endless traffic and impatient honking of horns at every hour stopped me from sleeping. However, there are no cars travelling by, and [...]

He propelled her [...]
WW: Meeting
This is a fictional meeting I think would have happened behind the scenes at number 10 this week! While he was watching his chief adviser addressing everyone in the gardens, Boris let his face drop into his hands. Finally, he knew exactly what everyone must stop them thinking when he was talking to the [...]
#FFFC: The shop
Debbie walked to the front of her shop and felt a shock at finding everything covered in newspaper. They weren’t closing down until next week, so confused didn’t even cover her feelings as she felt for the keys in her pocket. Just as her fingers touched the icy edge of the keys her eyes spotted [...]
