In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

Relic – 100 words

January 14, 2024 By Ellen

Relic Station commute, cloudy breath – warm coat. I slip my hand into my pocket and find, not hankies and the change I keep for shop doorway residents, but a mask.

In the sky – 100 words

January 12, 2024 By Ellen

In the sky Where I live clouds often rest on hills. It’s easy to walk into claggy evidence of sky. Clouds are in the sky, I am in cloud, so I am in the sky. There isn’t a line – like a children’s drawing – where sky begins. It starts above my boots, at the […]

Blanket – 100 words

January 7, 2024 By Ellen

Blanket Under the cover of this fog, we have been transported – the house, the dogs and I – to a place of misfortune. Grey malevolence has poured in and removed the other people and their colourful optimism. We are marooned. There are no shops or schools or jolly pubs. Where the road used to […]
