My stories

Comfort And Power In The Modern World

I look back with an almost nostalgic feeling over the past. All the drink, the smoking, the poverty, but most of all, the pain.

Fast Food Vocation

Poverty and hunger may free the soul, but you find it hard to fulfill commitments, and you have to get used to life without Basil.

Hard To Swallow

This is always the worst part. As you pass the park, the street dissolves into little more than an alley. It's here I was born, here between the clothes-lines and the chipped brickwork of some long-forgotten Minister For Housing. "Let's abolish the slums," and everyone agreed because it had to be done, no-brainer. But this ain't no concrete paradise, is it, Mr. Tory? It's a trackmark on the arm of the town, the stab wound in the gut of this body. Broken glass battles with broken teeth to pave the street, the council saved on paint by using human blood.

Sharks

Sharky took a walk down the corner, lit a fag, and walked on. This was where he bumped into old Popeye the other day. Told him what was coming and wasn't he right? Sharky knew what was going down and had given him fair old warning, so Pops had scarpered with the shit and everyone was more or less... cept Sharky. He had to keep his head down for a little, no big deal, he knew where to go. Had a place on the Commercial, tools, the lot. And Jen was meeting him down there.
