• MAYBE IT WAS THE RAIN

  I kept the date. It was our last chance. Your last chance. If you don’t show up this time then I’ll know for sure. Fifteen years since the High School prom. We were perfect. You wanted to be with me. Why should that have changed? So every year, on the anniversary of that evening, I…

• TENACIOUS

  

  ‘She’s tenacious, a fighter, we’re not giving up hope.’ It was nice of him, but I could see he didn’t believe it. She had finally met her match. It had been a week without a sign of her. I wrapped myself against the cold. The search would resume when the storm cleared, but now they…

• THE RACE

  

  Rain batters off the window. I lie in bed listening to it. It is my favourite sound, until I remember I have to get up and go out. I get up and pull on layers of clothing. Definitely a day for a hat and jacket and gloves. Then into the car, with just a piece…

• CRABBIT

  

  Shovelling the seaweed away, Agnes was not happy. ‘Fourth time this year,’ she muttered and threw a disgruntled stare at the waves lapping against the ineffective flood wall. Archie pulled up in the hire van. He drove over the seaweed Agnes had spent the last hour gathering into one neat pile. ‘Next lot ready?’ he…

• DREAMING OF HEATHER

  

  The bed sheets are damp with sweat. The muggy, warm air offers no relief. I unwrap myself and lie on top of the duvet. This weather has to break soon. It isn’t just the close atmosphere that has made me sweat. I had been dreaming of her again. Vague images of my dream come back…
