We loved the voices in this flash, the use of dialogue to deliver cracking humour, the sheer unexpectedness of it (her first pub was very different).

We loved the tension in this relatable piece, an MC struggling and coveting the life of their cat. An intense, raw insight into a woman's feelings.

We loved the two voices @jeanniemarschall.bsky.social used in this quirky, fun piece - which adds humour and drives the story. You might never look at your cat's swishing tail in the same way again...
