One More Minute
Suspended in a delicious moment, all the sweeter because I have to stop this... Just one more minute... I pulled away saying, "I'd better go,". Started walking towards the house... only for everything to glitch and look: I hadn't moved away at all.

True Love's Kiss
Two men stood outside the hospital, staring morosely over the carpark, a wary tension between them. Alex held a cold pack to his face, and Michael had one across his knuckles.

Sleeping Beauty. Top Story - July 2024.
She lies in the hospital bed, machines beeping and whirring, her hair spread on the pillow. No bruises, no bandages, no blood. Thank god.

Stay
I knew he knew. I started having trouble accessing the Dream. The machine thought I'd exited the dream early more than once, so it decided I didn't like that one. Fucking algorithms.

Goodbye, Dreamboat
Last week, I tried my wife's DreamFix machine again. I'm not sure why. To reassure myself? Surely it would be a different man in her dreams each time. Someone good-looking, but random. No threat.

DreamFix-1000
She woke me up again last night. I don't get it. When you can choose your dreams, why choose bad ones? I reached for her, and she didn't say, I'm sleepy, or anything like that. She didn't stiffen.

Too Many Mississippis
Standing in the dark outside the house, I watched something in him wither and die. He doesn't believe me, I thought. My son doesn't believe me.

Just One Hug
God it felt good to be so close to him. The smell of him, the warmth. What I'd resisted so long. Was that why it was so good? Because I'd held back? My lips so close to his neck, I ached to kiss him. I didn't. Just a hug, I told myself. Just one. That's OK, right?

Sleepless in Suburbs
He can't sleep. He's only come up to bed because his mother prompted him to. You have work tomorrow. He's almost eighteen and she's still... well... mothering him. It's nearly midnight. You're still a growing lad.

I Wondered if I'd Meet You One Day
The woman came running into the shop, a wild look in her eyes. "There's a baby!" she said. Everyone looked at her, polite and confused, while their brains caught up with this odd turn of events.

Boundaries
I called Joe again yesterday while Adam was out with his mates. Joe's girlfriend answered. The prickly way Evie spoke told me she wasn't happy about me calling. I don't care. Adam and I have a son together. (Callum's four.) She can't stop us talking.
