“So, who’s going to die today?”
“My bets on Fred.”
“How much?”
“I’ll put down $3 today.”
“John has been looking a bit peekish; I’ll put a fiver on him”
Jack signalled to the other men at the table that Jan was approaching with a “Hmm hmm” The group of men sheepishly put away their wager book and lifted their coffee cups to their lips. She gave them a poercing stare as she walked by, she knew t...
Truly courageous people have a tiny little seed inside them. They hardly even notice it themselves. And when the time comes they do not falter; they stand tall. They stare death in the face knowing they may lose. But the seed inside them has been silently, persistently growing and shelters then against evil like a forcefield.
True courage....
“So, that are all the bequests of the will.”
I’ve been left out of the will; while my siblings benefit.
Why me? Why did I miss out?
How can this be true? How could I have been forgotten?
Who has been speaking ill of me?
When did they disinherit me?
What did I do that was so bad?
“Ahem …. Apologies …. PTO…. There is another page…”
Oh, i was actually in the will all along- whew...

I had a terrible niggling desire to unzip one of the zippers. Would their whole body collapse? Would white puss come oozing out and coagulate into a gooey mess on the floor? Would undoing a person’s zipper reveal another person underneath ; another face?

Words spoken that could never be unsaid; the times he’d ‘forgotten’ his wallet; or pleaded for a lift; the lies. “Urghh” i thought. “Once was enough, never again” I turned on my heels and strode out of ...
All cities are the same all over the world. Mcdonalds and starbucks on every corner, and beggars placed on the floor with a hat or bucket in front of them, usually at the top of an elevator coming up from the train station.
All big cities have that same musty smell, a mixture of dog wee and damp. The tall buildings overshadow the streets, so the sunlight never shines through - it may peek throu...
“Im glad he’s dead.” I snarled. I could say that now, I shot a piercing glare across the open casket at my mother challenging her to just dare defend him again after everything that he had done.
I could still feel how Doug, my stepfather, still had a presence about him despite lying there; motionless. It was as if at any moment now he would leap from the casket and start off on one off his abu...
John settled into his seat on the plane, he couldn't help but notice the person sitting next to them. The passenger seemed nice enough at first glance, but it didn't take long for the woman’s annoying habits to become apparent.
First and foremost, the woman had an incessant need to fidget and fiddle with everything around them. She would tap her fingers on the tray table, jiggle her leg unconsc...
