Mildred is the most boring person you will ever meet. That is, if you were one to believe in idle gossip. In the outback town of Morton with a population of only 103, there is one leaning stop sign, a single rusty windmill, and no traffic lights. Morton is a place that is not visited anymore, only born into. At 40 years old, Mildred is one of the 103 folk of Morton and so the gossip goes, Mildred truly is the most unbelievably boring person in town. They say the funeral notices are more exciting than Mildred. That one could not fall asleep in the presence of Mildred, because the entire time you are thinking about how insanely dull she is, whilst concocting an excuse to leave. Again, this is only gossip.

“I’m sorry – I just have too many things going on in my life right now” If you ever had this said to you – or, indeed, if you said this to someone – you’ll know that it usually means two things. One: it’s a polite way to turn someone down, a go-to answer to alleviate the awkwardness of saying thanks, but I’m not into you. Or, two: you are seriously busy and don’t have time to devote to dating at the current moment – and your dating life is suffering because you work too much.

The late afternoon sun glistened like a thousand tiny stars on the rippling bay. The beach was eerily deserted except for a lone woman who stood motionless at the shoreline, her head cocked slightly to one side. A light breeze softly ruffled her hair and with one hand she absentmindedly swept it off her face. In her other hand she held a book, little and black. All of a sudden, as if her name had been called, she turned, striding purposefully away from the water and the city view, across the bay. Ahead of her the beach stretched towards an outcrop of rocks in the distance, signalling what would be the end of her walk.
All of It
“Excuse me, are you Ariel?” A handsome man disturbed my daydreams - more like delusions really. I had been having a heart to heart with my sister on a park bench. The park surrounding us was like a fairytale with rich colours, rainbows, deep blue ponds and my incredible sister, Lenna. It seemed like heaven, way too good to be true. And it was. We had just buried my sister the week before.

Isabel was very, very angry. She clutched her big, blue bear protectively, as if it were a shield between her and the hurtful words that Paul had spoken. It had been such a nice day at the fair, scoffing candy floss and hot dogs, like over-excited children. He’d taken her hand, as they’d watched the brightly coloured stalls and rides melt into the sky, from the lofty heights of the big wheel. Then, he had declared that he wouldn’t rest until he’d won the blue bear for her at the shooting gallery. It had taken many tries for him to accomplish his mission… So many, in fact, that she suspected he’d spent far more money on tokens than the bear would have cost in a shop. However, the expression of exalted triumph on his face, when he’d presented her with the garish and ungainly toy, had been so beautiful as to stop her breath, for just a moment.

Agnes, sitting alone at a small table outside a cafe, placed her hand protectively over her jacket pocket, feeling the outline of its contents. Agnes’ hand paused for several moments while she reassured herself the contents therein were safe.
