of lives that didn’t. But their stories
are beautiful, aren’t they? Continue reading

Friday Fictioneers 100 Word Flash Fiction Challenge: Nabat

safer than flight.

but sin was nearer.
I was cosy with sin –

Friday Fictioneers: The Bunting
The Bunting

On the marble pavement dust grows.
Her empty room is cold and still.
