"I can't believe you didn't pack them," Mary said digging through the bag in her lap. "I thought chocolate was a bad idea." Mary turned and gave Rob a disbelieving look. "You're joking..." "Um... No. It melts," Rob said not taking his eyes from the road. Mary sniffed in indignation. "That's the whole point in… Continue reading The Drive

Tradition…
Every year I follow a tradition for Christmas. Of late I follow 'The Plan'. Me and Granddad sorted out 'The Plan' before he died. You see at the time I thought nothing of it but I think he knew he was going because he made his last wish to have Christmas. And he didn't want… Continue reading Tradition…
Dream talk
Martin shifted on the bed trying not to wake Tracy. When she had suggested that it would be better if they had a four-foot bed, he had agreed. His one love was to sit up at night and read Dickens. Now he had the bedside table and a lamp, but if he moved Tracy would… Continue reading Dream talk
That moment
The moment I decided I wanted more than I had. What I mean is that I wanted more than making toys for a living, and I'm not talking money. If anything since writing I can safely say that my wage has become worse. I mean that I wanted more than just sewing... I wanted to… Continue reading That moment
The Worst Jobs
At the moment I am having to split my time between writing, drawing and the smallholding. I'm not sure if you know, but I share a smallholding with my parents. My dad looks after the animals and birds, and me and mum are in charge of the orchard and vegetable patch. Now that doesn't mean… Continue reading The Worst Jobs
Dreams

Now that in itself is annoying and itchy but not too much of a problem. I have medication... And that is where the dreams come in. You see the drugs make… Continue reading Dreams
The Fluting Mime
I was nervous. Stood in front of a pair of the most imposing doors ever. I mean it is just meant to be a hall, somewhere to practice so why the heavy oak doors? Is it to keep audiences in or others out? Who had never heard of a fortified theater? Let alone one in… Continue reading The Fluting Mime
A Giant Leap!
I made a giant step. It was huge and so scary. Like I'd walked to the edge of a cliff and looked down. You know, just like when you were a child. But when you're a child that rush of fear and excitement can leave you tingling and happy to be alive. Because as a… Continue reading A Giant Leap!
Fashion and fads
I was an odd child. I never followed fashion, too interested in being comfy. In the end I would just wear what I wanted. There was the red-spotted sock incident. Basically I was a kid when the fad was coloured socks, short ones. All mine were white. We had no money so I had to… Continue reading Fashion and fads
Vice and Versa
The daily prompt has asked what bad habit can you not abide in others... I am fairly easy going. In fact I like to call myself a watcher. No, not like in Buffy. I have never met a vampire, or a vampire hunter. More like I watch people. I watch them come and go. I… Continue reading Vice and Versa
