Dead AsleepTop Story - January 2023
I’m glued to lone chair beneath spotlight, dripping sweat, and in they come from the wings— the dead. People and pets all long gone

New Year, New Me
It's 2023 and I'm a new me. I'm transformed - can't you see? I've found discipline overnight; I'm taking my health seriously.

The biggest lesson my father taught me came after he died
I used to be a staunch atheist. I believed that there is no God, there's no rhyme or reason for us being here, and when you're dead, you're dead and there's nothing else to it.

An Open Letter to the British SunshineRunner-Up in Summer Camp Challenge
Dear British Sunshine, I know you're shy. I get it - I'm shy too. That's why I'm writing this letter instead of screaming at you from my backyard. But if you could challenge your shyness just long enough to stay out in the open for an entire afternoon so that we can have our annual British barbecue, I'd be ever so grateful.

An Open Letter to the Creature that lives in the Old Ramshackle Graveyard
I don’t know whether you’re a fox, or a cat, or particularly large and carnivorous squirrel, or a creaky, creepy, skeletal human who has crawled out of one of the 150-year-old graves, or an alive-and-kicking human who likes to have his dinner in an old, ramshackle graveyard of all places, and quite frankly I couldn’t care less what you are, I just beg of you to stop leaving chunks of half-chewed meat all over the place.

My Dog Is Not Just 'Okay', Sir
I was walking along the street with my mum one day a couple of years ago, both of us with our faithful hounds by our side, when a man stopped in front of us and cooed at my mum's dog.

1 ‘I went over this on the phone.’ ‘I just want to confirm the details.’ Mark pinches the bridge of his nose. ‘Olive skin. Dark brown hair. She’s… I don’t know, average build, I suppose. Just over four foot tall. She’s tall for her age.’

In 2022 I Want to Earn Tiredness
You know those nights where genuine, deep tiredness wraps its arms around you in a reassuring cuddle and quietly tells you it's time for bed?

How to NOT Write Every Day for a Year
There was once a time I flexed my creative writing skills on the daily and now my ability to sit down and put pen to paper is so rusty that I think I can hear my knuckles squeaking as I type. So how did I go from a daily writer to a never writer? Allow me to share my wisdom.
