    A Tumble and a Trip

    Bong. Bong. Bong. Life has ups. Life has downs. Life even has middles (they’re less interesting). The reality of life though is that you will have days of soaring happiness; days where the wind beneath you makes the sensation of flying high feel like it will last forever. Then you’ll inevitably have days where it […]

    Time Travel

    For centuries scholars and science-fiction fans have wondered whether time travel could be possible. Is it? Almost certainly not, obviously. But I can sort of pretend if I let my eyes blur and my mind wander. From the outside looking in it might seem a little weird, a little pointless, a little like a waste […]

  • When Life Gives You Lemons

    When Life Gives You Lemons

    It’s two o’clock in the morning, I am alone. I’m in the front room of the ninth floor flat I moved into last month, sat on the floor tucked away in a little nook beside the sofa next to a window. If anybody walked in they would just see some slightly lanky legs sticking out […]

    Women are from Venus and men are complicit in normalising sexual assault

    Darkness creeps around me, I’m sat up in bed, the room around me is shrouded in darkness and the only source of light is emanating from my laptop, the only noise the taps of a keyboard. I’m one of those people who likes to leave their blinds shut, I only use my bedroom to sleep […]

    Caging rabbits

    When is a cage a prison, and when is it a chance for a fresh start? Morning, it’s April, it’s 9:47am, I just woke up and all I can hear is noise, a wall of noise on what was supposed to be my day off. I’m lying in bed, the blinds drawn shut with just […]

    Looking beyond the mirror

    Nobody ever teaches you how to grow up. There’s no formula for it, there’s not a definitive moment you know, you don’t wake up one day and go ‘Oh, I did that growing up thing and I smashed it you know’.

    Before the dawn

    Every day was the same, the boy, trudging along, one step in front of another, wide eyed wonder long gone, replaced by weariness, unbecoming of somebody so young. This was his life and he had become accustomed to it. The boy didn’t often mind much, you should try not to feel for him, this is […]

  • Miles to go before I sleep

    Miles to go before I sleep

    I often find myself awake, day and night it’s a familiar state to find myself in. I’m used to lying in bed in the early hours of the morning, looking up at the artex ceiling of my childhood bedroom. I’ve lived in this house all my life, long gone are are the stuffed toys, the […]
