Beautiful - Published by Paragraph Planet on 22 May 2023

Beautiful Beautiful. Dark, hypnotic eyes. Glossy, pink lips. Their eyes followed her like rainbows chasing summer rain. She glances at the reflection and opens her pot of gold. Beautiful cold cream soaks into fluffy cotton wool. Beauty wiped away. Summer is a dream never realised. A memory that never happened. Her skin sallow. Her eyes exhausted. Her chapped lips hold her cigarette tightly. Her cotton wool sits in the bin. Drenched in a million colours. Beautiful.

Unhappily Ever After - Published by Paragraph Planet on 21 March 2017

Unhappily Ever After? The bride has run off with the best man, the groom is off dancing naked with the bridesmaids, the bride's father and the maid of honour have gone on the honeymoon, the groom's mother is face down in the chocolate fountain and the vicar has pawned the wedding rings to pay off his debts. You think I'm superstitious? Seriously? I told you over and over again not to eat the wedding cake!
