I'm sat in a room full of robots. They're sat up straight, pen in hand, eyes fixed on the teacher. All right-handed may I add. Their uniform is immaculate. No pull on the hemline, no frayed trousers, no skirts above knee-length and shoes are all perfectly polished. They sit in silence, absorbing and writing everything... Continue Reading →
Overgrown grass paints my suede shoes emerald The heathers and bluebells encroach upon my raincoat staining the hems bright purple We won't mention the dog poo on the heel of my shoe The sharp breeze cuts my face with crisp coldness And the sun beams down on my face, radiating heat amidst the cool I...

Smiles radiate from the frame, I miss it. Smiling like I used to. My sister and I wear matching Minnie Mouse ears wearing the same outfit but one in yellow and one in green. Yellow was my favourite colour then, Belle's dress and sunshine was all I cared about. We sat hugging Walt's statue right... Continue Reading →
I grab hold of the cool leather steering wheel and take a deep breath. But he's coming. I check the rear view mirror but all I can see is black mascara blotching my view. I fire up the ignition, get into gear and push down the handbrake. He's getting closer and all of a sudden... Continue Reading →

Why do you always think of me as some brooding, skeletal man in a black hooded cape, with a scythe in my hand, eager to collect your dead corpse? What if I was a young woman, in white, offering a peaceful passing and a helping hand to try and save you more time with the... Continue Reading →
Love lay hunched along the ginnel His matted hair covered his listless grey eyes A fresh stream of blood erupts from his fingernails Picking and picking at them She loves me, she loves me not, She loves me. She loves me not. Dried up salty tears stream down his skeletal cheeks Pain ate away his... Continue Reading →
There she stood. With her dignified glare, imposing her indestructible front towards her villagers. Each Friday they give her offerings and pray for good weather for the crops. Silly people, don't they know she can't speak to the Gods? Five years ago a mad general staged a coup and didn't worship her for six months.... Continue Reading →
Okay, it's no lie that I love Lin Manuel Miranda. He is today's musical legend that created the Broadway and West End hit musical Hamilton: An American Musical. But Lin has done a lot more than just Hamilton. In 2005, In the Heights premiered in America and soon hit Broadway. Set in Washington Heights, it... Continue Reading →
