Last Feel (Extract)
Katy grew used to the smells, the sounds. She learned to read the residents, know when they were cogent and when they were lost somewhere within themselves. She learned how to soothe and how to feed and how to bathe and turn those who lay so still that their skin had gaping holes. She felt special when Joe called her Linnet, when he was caught up with the ghosts, and only she could chase them...

Just Dessert.
I always make crumble when I’m thinking of Trent. The thing is, I only realise halfway through. After I’ve melted, sifted, stirred. Made from memory. Suddenly I’m back in my shitty old kitchen, digesting pork and sitting on my bench with his hands in my back pockets. Tasting salt and gravy. Crumbles in the oven, turning golden. ‘I could really do this,’ he says.

Bad Habits.
It separates the true smokers from the fakes: that stale, compressed smell. Clinging like an aura, untouched by soap or spray. Seeping from the pores, stretching the follicles. Staining the skin falsely Hispanic. Drawing lines, dragging towards premature death by the lips. Heaving up a wad and muttering “I smoke”.

“It is a strange truth that we live happily alone until we find a thing we cannot...”
– Original quote from my upcoming creative piece. Hope it’s not cliche and you like it.
My friend Jon Urlie wants to call his girls Oopsie...
So far the girls (and the woman giving birth to them) are fictional, but he has high hopes. So high that he made them compilation CDs!! Those were my suggestions for album artwork.
Do you have any?

Dear New Lovers,
Please don’t.
Don’t say hello.
Don’t smile at me.
Don’t smooth the hair from my forehead.
Don’t slip your palm into mine.
Don’t place your hand at the small of my back.
Don’t hold me at night.
Don’t kiss me in the morning.
Don’t do everything I’d gladly let you do.
Don’t do everything I long for you to do.
Don’t...
Found In...
If you find anything in your town, please send me pictures. Guidelines are that the things must be found, not stolen (aka not removed from private property, even if it’s just sitting around…) and some effort with photography is appreciated.

Learn to Breathe
He had never smelt just her, he realised, as he pulled her out of the bath.
He had no knowledge beyond the perfumes, the make-up, the moisturisers, the shampoo, the scrub, the soap. He couldn’t name her scent beyond the bottles and labels. When he lay next to her to breathe her in, he couldn’t extract her from the false, cloying, stifling substance she lived in. A chemical...

Cardigan Criminal
The question is: will she take the jacket?
In recent weeks, she has tested every myth her mother told her, every rule imposed arbitrarily. It began when she burnt the toast - and ate it. Cancer be damned, she thought. Then, the dishes left in the sink overnight; hard, encrusted in the morning. She scrubbed with satisfaction, the thrill of rebellion. She ignored the red man’s order and...
