Jaffrica

“Jaffa Cakes are legally defined as cakes for tax reasons,” I insisted, encouraging her to blow out the candles through the tears. ”You see, VAT is only payable on…” But she’d already turned to leave. ”You forgot your tiny set of screwdrivers!” I shouted after her. No answer. It was at this moment I knew that nothing would save our wedding day....

Underpass

Not even the smell of the piss-stained stairs could detract from her beauty. Emerald eyes, check. Flaxen hair, check. She had everything I hated in a woman. But together, somehow, it worked.

He liked the apple version...

Scrapbook

I intend to use this Tumblr to write more. Bits of this. Some of that. Scraps, lines, and passages from other writing I’m thinking about, working on, or none of the above.
