A collection of the assorted bits and pieces that make up a life.

Dream

If it was just a dream, why are there cuts on my arms? Does this mean there really are spiders under my skin?

Shortcut

Running late, he took a shortcut through the alley that everyone said was the most dangerous in town. Footsteps at his back made him whirl round only to realise it was those up ahead that should have alarmed him.

Martian

You can see the Earth and Moon during the Martian night - beautiful yet painful. For ours is a one way mission.

Power

The first thing we did when the power went out was light candles. Their flickering flames revealed horrible things creeping from corners and from under furniture; so the last thing we did was scream.

The Llama

“This isn’t what I signed up for at all. No damn way!” An idle Wednesday afternoon, with nothing but a laze by the pool scheduled, had become a complete nightmare. She was a lingerie model, he a llama, and the chase was on. The agency called just after lunch and begged her to fill in for Maria, who couldn’t make the shoot. Again! How that lazy sod expected to succeed in the modelling trade was a mystery.
