• FRESHLY CAUGHT SEAFOOD

  

  ‘The Great White was a man-eater, terrorising a small beach town. Three days at sea before I found her. Dragged my boat for fifty miles.’ ‘Now the Orca. He was a tough old bastard. Almost took my boat. Did take half my leg,’ the old man tapped his wooden stump. ‘After him I decided to…

• THE GIANT’S JOURNEY

  

  Every year one of the giants made the pilgrimage. This year it was the turn of Eindride. The village came out to see him off.

• DEFINE OBSTINATE

  

  ‘Is he still out there?’ Frank asked. Agnes turned away from the window, ‘He won’t give in.

• DESTINATION

  

  ‘Where does it lead?’ ‘Wherever you are supposed to be.’ Kevin peered down the road to where it disappeared, enveloped in a thick cloud of mist. ‘That’s not very reassuring,’ he said. ‘That depends. Where do you think you should be?’ Kevin thought back. He had done some good things, he had done some things…

• OUTPOST

  

  At last a sign that someone was looking for me. I managed to wave my red jacket in the air before I was pulled to the ground. Was it enough for the search plane to see me? It continued flying and disappeared beyond the horizon. Three weeks I’ve been held now, without explanation. The ropes…
