Rabbits

He looked at them and curled his top lip, exposing a receded, tarry gumline, from which protruded a set of unnaturally long, and quite terrifying, nicotine glazed incisors. ‘Utter plebs,’ he said, raising the heavy crystal glass to his lips. ‘Who the hell do they think they are?’ Through the windows of the leader’s chambers,Continue reading “Rabbits”

Crossed Wires

He looked at them and sighed. The numbers on the alarm clock casually ticked into another hour, yet still his insomnia showed no signs of loosening its grip. 3:00am Huntleigh exhaled, relieving the tautened muscles in his stomach momentarily. He was wound way too tightly. The pressures of his life, of his expectations, and hisContinue reading “Crossed Wires”

The Sit

She looked at it and pinched the hem of her cardigan. The contract sat on the coffee table between them. Alongside it, a tray containing a cold pot of tea and a plate of iced biscuits. ‘It- it’s a lot of money, isn’t it?’ Evelyn said. Dean, already perched on the edge of the sofa,Continue reading “The Sit”

The Web

LUCYLucy looked at her Mother-In Law and winced. She despised Cathy. Who could blame her, she had done everything in her power to ruin things for her and Tom since they day they met. First were the hidden notes in his highway code from an alleged lover. Next were the poison pen letters that arrivedContinue reading “The Web”

Swipe Right!

She looked at him and beckoned him into bed. “Come on, hurry up please. It’s almost like you are putting this off!” Saskia was sitting upright on luxury satin cushions, alert, excited, arousal levels already high – she had been waiting for this moment for a while. Not the most expected or logical next stageContinue reading “Swipe Right!”

Before A Fall

He looked at it and beamed. Ear to ear, not just a little grin this one… What a beauty. Wait till they all see this down the golf course. And Steve’s face! Fucking hell, I can’t wait. He had wanted this for a long while. Call it a teenage ambition realised. Call it aContinue reading “Before A Fall”

Synchronicity PLC

He looked at him and affected his most engaging smile. ‘Colin?’ the interviewer asked. Colin walked over to greet him. In the time it took to take the half dozen steps he could already tell, from the slight lilting of the man’s expression, that this was going to be an uphill challenge. ‘Yes,’ Colin replied,Continue reading “Synchronicity PLC”

Human Garbage

It looks; at them, and blinks. It sees; a black mass slumped, occasionally moving, against an alley wall; steam rises from the mass; bags of glistening rubbish piled waist high all around; shadows, grainy, flickering shadows; time stamp, zero, one. It watches; the mass split into two momentarily; a long coat separate; a thick whiteContinue reading “Human Garbage”

Just Six Months More

She looked at it and bit her lip. This was serious, it had gone past the point of helping her to get through the day. Svetlana was so dependent now that she could barely function without it, let alone perform. Yet she still had to perform; day after day, mile upon mile, second after split second. AndContinue reading “Just Six Months More”

Demme Fatale

He looked at her and extended a casual, inviting glance across the room. It wasn’t a blatant come on, it was too subtle for that, but the question it posed was clear enough. Without reacting the woman looked away, and now he felt sure that he had mis-read the situation. Overstepped a mark. She wasContinue reading “Demme Fatale”
