Quotidian: A Savvy Poem
I am, they say, bland. Bland, ordinary, everyday – drab! Being drab, I land in a bland sort of way – as a tiny ripple, barely noticeable, until – swept up by invisibility, my everything becomes your everything: greedy, ravenous, destructive and DELICIOUS.

High sugar content needed. She pops the lid, peels back the silver seal, tips up the bottle, holds it highContinue reading “Assassin: A Savvy Tale”
Simulating Crumble: A Very Short Story
Inspired by five random words from Issue 64 of ‘mslexia’: ‘exposing’, ‘limping’, ‘simulations’, ‘performance’ and ‘speciality’.

Today, she is told; today, she is surplus to requirements; no longer required in the gap between the squeeze to make a profit.
