Facade

I smile, I laugh, I even dance to their music.

I greet them with Hellos.

I buy them gifts of thanks.

The screeching of cellos rings through my ears.

My face is hurting and I’m holding back tears.

I keep smiling and I keep laughing until I disassociate.

I’ve painted this persona of joy that I must undertake, but it’s harder each day as the pain is harder and harder to push away.

The mask is slippin...

Three Toads Called John

Evil depends on who you ask, if you asked me Tabitha wasn’t evil at all, she was just an ordinary woman who happened to turn some annoying children into toads. Of course from the perspective of the children she’s evil … but sooome may argue that she did the world a favour. I’m not saying that’s me, I’m also not saying it’s not me either. Anyway this is the reason the kids were turned into toads.

It Started With A Ringing

Dear Diary,

I had this weird ringing in my ears today, my friend said it’s probably tinnitus and will go away on its own.

Dear Diary,

I went to the doctor and they referred me to a ear specialist to take a closer look at my ears, I asked if it was a wax buildup and they said it didn’t seem to be, I’m not too stressed about it, I know it will go away.

Dear Diary,

The ear specialist told me I h...

Pasta Wizard

“Words are wasted on those who don’t listen.”

“What was that?”

“That customer, she just asked me if we have any pasta left and I said no we don’t, and she kept saying, are you sure? Like I can magically manifest pasta from thin air.”

…

“What? Don’t look at me like that Mikey.”

“You can conjur up pasta from thin air you are literally a wizard.”

“Well yeah I know, but I’m not wasting my magic ...

Cleanse

I placed my hands on the cool evening water as the lanterns showed me my reflection. Blood painting my face, dripping down into the water below my palms.

I scoop a handful of water into my hands and wash my face, cleansing myself of the blood that isn’t mine.

Hoping and praying that the creature it belongs to doesn’t come back....

Balance

We live in a world where peace is rare, where our neighbours no longer care for our wellbeing. Where we bow our heads and get on with our days like the world lives in a daze.

We live in a world where war is common, it’s everywhere you look, on the news, in the books and you start to wonder what life would be like in a world not ruled by crooks.

But if we found peace could we get too comfortable?...

For Hire

Jimmy sat frozen in his seat staring at the man in front of him.

“Let’s skip the pleasantries, shall we? You and I both know we’re not here for small talk.”

“I … um.”

“That’s enough from you, I’m speaking now. We’re going to do this properly understood? I want it done by the end of the night or your neck is on the line have you got that?”

Jimmy shifted nervously.

The man’s hands slammed down ...

Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk

I spilled some milk today at work and I didn’t cry about it because I remember my mum telling me about the origins of the phrase.

A milkmaid was sad, her lover was away at war and she was alone on the farm tending to the cows. When she accidentally knocked over a bucket of milk, crying away because it was just one little accident too many and then she heard him clearing his throat.

“Oh, Annie do...

New human? *sniff sniff sniff*

Clean human? *sniff sniff sniff*

Small human, very small human, play?

“Waaaaaa! Waaaaa!”

Strange noise! “Grrrr!”

“Waaaa! Waaa!”

“It’s okay boy.”

Listening.

“Come here.”

Tail between legs, walk slowly.

Look human in eyes.

Small human looks back, eyes wide like mine.

Friend? Wag tail.

Human stops strange noise and looks at me.

“Friend,” it speaks only to ...

Even The Smallest Of Lies

Have you ever been lied to? I have on multiple occasions and let me tell you this, it doesn’t cause physical wounds, but your soul is faced with abrasions.

It leaves scars that cannot be fixed, it leads to tar that truly sticks and all because someone you thought you could trust, decides to lust and take the mick.

I don’t take kindly to lies, they cut me up and sting my eyes, they steal away th...
