    I have uploaded a new short story called 'Running'. Have a read here:

    Here's a snippet:

    There are seven of them in all. All feminine. They share my dimpled chin. Even Penny. She has a broken nose. I gave her it. Noele has a dart sticking into the broken egg orb of an eye gone wrong. I’m responsible for that too. Shana has mercury coating her teeth, her lips have rotted away so she can’t hide it. The triplets Hazel, Dominique and Laura, who I named Hoowey, Doowey and Loowey have crispy duck complexions beyond the powers of moisturiser and melted hair that Timotei will not rescue. Little Anne is still wearing the Teddy Bears head. I cut it off and scooped out enough cotton filling so it would fit on her head. No air holes. In Poo no-one can hear you scream.
