  • THE GARDEN ROOM

    An extension proved too expensive, but Agnes insisted she needed more space. ‘How can I be expected to be creative with you in the same room?’ ‘I don’t get in your way,’ Archie replied. ‘You slurp. You chew. You exhale!’ Suitably chastised, Archie investigated a garden room. He would lose his flowerbeds, but he would […]

    FERTILISATION

    The flowers have come up well this year. White and red, her favourite colours. She arrives. I hope to impress. She glances at them, nods a little, makes a note on her clipboard. It’s over in less than ten minutes and she’s gone. All that work. A week later. The results are emailed to the […]

    THE DISAPPEARED

    P for Protection. That’s what he thought anyway, huddled under the El track. Every ten minutes the shudder of the metal stanchion and the clackety roar reminded him he was still alive.
