There we were; I didn’t know what to make. I was at arm’s length and so were you. We both played a game of distance. Separated by awkwardness but united by a desire to connect but not attach.
DAY 25 – 30 Day Writing Challenge
The warning bell sounds. The last day for humankind on earth is finally here. And as the alarming scream of a dying planet intensifies, smothering the groans of those who would greedily scoff in the face of reason; no lessons will ever be learnt. If we had the chance we’d do it all again.

DAY 24 – 30 Day Writing Challenge

DAY 22- 30 Day Writing Challenge

DAY 21 – 30 Day Writing Challenge
When we live in a world where satellites can find us with pinpoint accuracy; why do we feel so lost?
DAY 20 – 30 Day Writing Challenge
But you are like a bolt out of the blue. The sparkle on the edge of a star. Everything has meaning and everything is full. Not just half full. No short measured optimism. The glass is full.
DAY 19 – 30 Day Writing Challenge
With clumsy club foot David crept the creaking corridors, circling the spiralling stairs.
DAY 18- 30 Day Writing Challenge

We bury our friends even though they may not be dead.
DAY 16- 30 Day Writing Challenge
Not in sleep, but in the moments and hours between; I waste valuable seconds, minutes, and months on feeling instead of doing. Imagined futures and projected fantasies that come to nothing permeate the fog of a life lived in some half-awake state.
DAY 15- 30 Day Writing Challenge
Mixed emotions flank the end of an illustrious career. Hard toil giving way to empty days. The rush of the nine-to-five now leaving space for brunch and afternoon tea.
DAY 14- 30 Day Writing Challenge
Feeling the funk emanate we shuffled and boogied. Like zombies of the nights on Broadway- arms thrusting moving to the beat. Not knowing where we were going strutting with the love train, and surviving like Donna Summer we had been trapped in this nightlife limbo of lasers and smoke machines.
