Witchcraft In The Harem

On the plane, drinking a quarter-bottle of white, I retrieved my address book from my crocodile bag, tore out a page at a time, and turned each one into a snowflake with a few painless tears. The man sitting next to me, tall with a clean suit and pale skin, brushed away the white shreds that fell on his lap with the back of his hand, and I resolved to be more like him. He didn't look anywhere but straight ahead.

Just Left of Leaving

'What are we arguing about?' Sam turned off the radio for the third time and left his hand on the black plastic dial. He glanced over to the passenger seat, and his son's expression.

Jelly Park

It was the late night that did it, playing Portishead records with a bottle of Jack D and a packet of black Sobranies for company. By twelve o'clock I was singing, 'Nobody loves me¦' in a hoarse growl. By two I was attempting to play solo Twister to prove that friends are just not necessary in life. By three thirty I had stolen the pot plant from outside flat six and chucked it out of my top floor window. I've had enough of decorative frippery for one lifetime.
