    ESTABLISHED PROCEDURE

    Up at seven on the dot. Hop into the shower, towel dry, throw on my uniform. Pop a slice of bread in the toaster, spoon on some jam (no clean knives again!), browse the morning headlines. Bag packed, ready to leave at eight on the button. Door opens, out I go, along the corridor and…

    SCOTTISH KINGS

    **contains terms which may offend** The Bruce raised his sword high, the driving rain battering against the silver blade, washing away the English blood. The dark clouds that had been the menacing back drop to the battle suddenly parted. Glorious sun shone over the tired and battered survivors. This was his moment. He could think…

    FLAMES OF DESIRE

    She wanted to be faithful. But she couldn’t ignore the feelings rising inside her. Her senses heightening. That familiar yearning. She felt the moistness on her lips, her tongue gently lingering around her mouth. The anticipation of that new rush of excitement, the new smell, the sweet new taste, the forbidden textures.

    INSULATED

    She held the blanket to her face and breathed in. The fragrance hit her. She pictured him in sunshine, among the flowers of the rose garden they used to visit. She saw his smile and those wide blue eyes. The fragrance wasn’t him of course. The smell that had stained the blanket was the medicine,…

    DESERT GLAMPING

    Archie dug his toes into the sand, relaxing in his reclining chair. From the tepee he heard Agnes clattering about. She stumbled out. ‘You said you wanted a holiday with plenty of sun and sand.’ He didn’t open his eyes as she slumped into the chair next to him. ‘Don’t feign innocence. You knew what…
