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 […]

January 2, 2024 By Ellen

Find inspiration, she said Hello! I don’t know what you look like. I’m over here. I can’t see you. Give me a sign. There. Did you get it? No, only a leaf tumbling, and some scampering. That was me. Show yourself. Are you a squirrel? No. Or only sometimes, then I’m a bird, or a […]
