A Mother’s Canvas
The inkblot dried up into the paper and she watched the colours change. Blue. Black. Red. The crying was growing louder but she couldn’t help. She had to do this. She had no choice. Grey. Green. Orange. The colours blended and swirled, the paint’s fragrance filling the room. Tears streaming and her mind swimming, sheContinue reading “A Mother’s Canvas”
Little Bird
Little bird – you sit there and watch me, day and night. Each day I test my little theory that you’re there to watch only me. Pacing across the room, to and fro; others do the same without prompt. Your tiny black eyes follow me alone, ignoring the rest. I’ve read about similar thingsContinue reading “Little Bird”

He looks scared. Very scared. There’s something following him. Something big. Something scary. I’m safe inside. ButContinue reading “Limbo”
Lies
The room is spinning and I can’t see straight. What is happening to me? The world no longer makes sense and everything I thought was right is a mistake. Left is right Up is down Dark is good Light is bad Was it true? Was everything this man wanted me to believe a truth? OrContinue reading “Lies”
The Morning After
Urgh. My head is murder. Is this a hangover? Dull throbbing? Check. The fading desire to upchuck? There it is. Bad decisions? Probably. What even happened last night? Oh God I kissed Denise. Like full on snogged the girl from Chemistry class. The one Nigel called dibs on. Good going me. Yeah, kiss the girlContinue reading “The Morning After”
