Ulga stared at Mr Thomason from where she had fallen, his punch did not show, did not mar the beauty of her young face. Her school bag lay covering her indecency, the skirt was too short and her shoes too mature a style. He turned away from accusing green eyes. ‘You will not wear such […]

The night was damp, not raining but a haze lit by the amber street lamps making everything glow a sickly yellow whilst moisture penetrated through layers of clothing giving that chill dankness. Amelia stood at the bus stop a ladder in her tights and lipstick smeared, mascara rims were growing around her smudged eyeshadow, it […]
Classic Moments filled Nazwick’s brain as he stumbled forward, the rain was heavy, thick almost and his hair was plastered to his skull like cranium. The girl was there equally emaciated with large dark eyes, the music filled up his brain, the conditioning. Moments, this was a moment. Her peach dress was soaked orange and […]
