My stories

Cherry

Trust

The buckle on his belt glistened as he fastened it. Roughly, he jerked the curtains open.
Story of the week

‘Arranging your funeral,’ I tell my mother, when she asks what I’ve been up to. Her eyebrows disappear into her hair.
Cherry

Cherry

Bad Barbara

With apoloogies to anyone called Barbara!
