30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 11 – Fear
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 →
30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 10 – Wilderness
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...

She loves me not. Dried up salty tears stream down his skeletal cheeks Pain ate away his... Continue Reading →

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 →
An ode to Lin Manuel Miranda
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 →
30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 2 – Divine
Her overripe skin with deep folds under her youthful eyes slowly closed on this earthly existence. She discarded her name, her clothes and her family And ascended. For too long had her wings been crushed the milky white feathers brushed along her smooth skin. And the angel looked over earth knowing her true home was... Continue Reading →
