An alleyway with overhanging branches, a camouflage of leaves hides most of the sky but through it all eyes of moonbeams stream.

The car just clicks, turn the ignition just a click. The cold steel of the key being wrenched as far around to the right as possible in the ignition slot does not help. A surge of heavy futility sweeps through me before I pick up the bar bell of the challenge. I ride through the [...]

Twice a year a rising klaxon fills the air and we all line up at the nearest light blue door, gathering just below a stark green ‘exit’ sign. Frazzled wardens in dull red hats zip up and down corridors like race cars rounding up stragglers. Fire escapes are never meant to be works of art [...]

It sat there crowding the back of my mouth like an Easter Island statue, alone and resolute. Finally after years of aching it stopped, like the nerve had been amputated and all that was left was a hollow stump to explore. I knew it was bad, but, as my tongue followed around the curve of my [...]

Colourful displays are blimps floating overhead, sizzling pictures entice as the wok does a series of summersaults, the cook hopping between pans monitoring progress. A mixture of frying meats vegetables and sauces cream the air. A drinks machine stands square to the left full of sugared products to wash down the meal which is swirling [...]

Absolutely stinking hot, windows are all wound down, the super heated air coming through them howls and buffets around us, a mini cyclone, but anything to get a mitre of relief from this 40+ sizzler of a day. The rusty yellow fields also seem to be pleading for relief, for rain or something, the road [...]

It’s a gigantic pencil striking up from the earth and writing in the sky, a trail of white whispery thoughts. This morning as I approach it, it’s so cold that my fingers ache like sore teeth as they manipulate the steering wheel down Moubray street.. As I draw level with the retirement home I wonder [...]
