As I sit at the table drinking my coffee I start to slide open the letter, written on black A4 sized paper, typed in gold...

Lance smiled at Josie as they made their way up the big stone steps leading to the front door.

Sally walked into the Cancer ward heading in to see her favourite patient, this was something she done out of love, she had come to really care about this lovely young man, she knew this wasn’t part of her duties, but visiting him during her breaks uplifted her day as well as his.

Hello Bob, how are you doing today?

let me fluff up your pillows, Bob tried to smile at her, she wanted to bring a li...

He tried to escape, running like his life depended on it, feeling a sense of foreboding he continued to run, he ran until he reached a road. he saw a car approaching, raising his thumb he tried to hitch a lift, the car slowed down, he was in luck, he told them his destination, no problem jump in, he got in the backseat of the car feeling a sense of relief at last, he breathed.
