Hoxton 4.27am
She feels stale breath and his fingers stroking her back she arches like a cat toning the morning to horror 'I love you' he whispers with a little pressure and something sharp painting the room red

Help! There's a Frog in My Computer.
The park had always been a very quiet, peaceful place. Daisy walked through it on her way to work every day. It had been a week now since she was last here, she has been off work to deal with a few loose ends. The kind of loose ends that now mean that as she walks through the park she cant help but re evaluate everything. The old looking man who may only be 30 was still curled up on a bench.

The Tears of a Clown
He had been known as Beppe for so many years that he found it strange when the nurses called him Joe. At 73 he still didn't consider himself old and he was immensely frustrated by his body's inability to keep up with his still lightening fast brain.

Contender
The guy is Zoot suited and Chelsea booted. He is drinking a South African red of a bad year that had travelled via Oslo on waves as tall as the barman's tales. He stands on a floor that is bubblegum sticky in a cloud of Marlboro blue smoke and inhales deeply.

It was a fetch. Of my dog. Fetch the dog. Not funny. If I explained to anyone, they'd say it was the heroin. "It's the heroin! They'd say. Like I was stupid.

Bag of Weasels. Chapter 4.
I got yanked up and scraped over the low wall next to the towpath, spun round and put back on my feet, then looked up into the face of Ralph. "What the fuck do you want? he growled.

The Snapper Lady
John was the kind of guy who'd push a beer glass in your face for catching his eye. He was just like that. Especially if he'd had a skin full. John liked his skin full. He'd been like that since he was a kid he was always getting into trouble, he even attacked the teachers at school if they upset him. He didn't go to school much for one reason or another. The teachers didn't mind.
