I love writing fiction. I have a WiP on the boil that has elements of magical realism and horror — so all the good stuff! (I also enjoy poetry a bit … !)

It looks beautiful. I am yet to witness it. One day … one day!

This is brilliant! Such a sense of foreboding in such an innocent task.

Where the hell is it? Mother’s finger is always in my pocket. It’s all I have left of her. I dig my nails deep into my palm.
I swipe my security card and rush through the halls. Finger food and cold meats are laid out. I have to find it before the guests arrive. Mother hated parties.

Mary watched the rain stream off his capotain and pool at his feet, rotting the already rotten wood. He smelt of manure, wet fur, and iron. Straw, flecked with red, clung to his boots like a second shoe.
“Shelter?” He asked.
She moved aside and let him in, locking the door behind them.

The red vellum envelope lay on the doormat. For a moment Celia thought she’d dropped her own one. But this was addressed to Ruth.
“What’s that?” Came Ruth’s voice from behind her.
Celia shoved it into her coat pocket. “Nothing”
A storm gathered in the distance. Oh Ruth, what have you done?
