Change is now – 100 words

February 17, 2023 By Ellen

Change is now   Her menopause drove her mad, she couldn’t cope, poor old thing. They nod like the bobbing penises on a jogging squad of naked bigots and say ‘ah, that explains it.’ Hot flushes – outrageous cliches. Whisper it: The Change.

Hope – 100 words

February 14, 2023 By Ellen

Hag stone – 100 words

February 13, 2023 By Ellen

Hag stone Whatever I wear, like magic, it’s in my pocket. Smooth and comfortable in the heart of my palm. The tips of my fingers dance it over and over in the fluff and crumbs. I hardly know I’m doing it. There’s a rhythm to the turning tipping one moment into the next like the […]
