“You wanna do something fun?” Jacob pulled his bottom lip down showing Caleb the inside of his mouth, wet and red. Caleb closed his eyes as he drained his coffee cup and placed it on the table in front of him. Jacob’s eyes hadn’t moved from Caleb. The tannoy sounded, “Passengers for Madrid now boarding” and the wheels of a suitcase rolled past them. Caleb said nothing. “I’ll take that as a no then?” Caleb smirked. “Your kind of fun or my kind of fun?” “Bit of both.” Caleb sighed. “Jacky we’...
‘We have plenty of time’ Sissy said. ‘We haven’t got plenty of time. We’re going to be late and I don’t want us to be late to this.’ ‘Please Maurice I haven’t had anything to eat since last night’.

With the sun shining on her forehead and chest; hot on her wet skin. The sea underneath her, magnificent and unknown. She felt her hair floating, splaying out like colouring pencils that have escaped from the tin and are rolling across the floor. The water lapped at her temples, and she closed her eyes. She did not want to leave the sea. Once she was out of the sea, ...

Daniel delighted at the sounds that would be made in his absence. He could hear them now. The outcries at being introduced to a lesson that no one would want to learn. Far more valuable than the grubby notes that lay in the bank under Daniel’s name. Of course, his absence would be sizeable. He was a big man. At the age of just 9 years old, he proved to be bigger than all the other boys his age, even at the most aggressive point in their growth spurts. He was tall. His shins were the size of “4 octaves on a piano”. This may se...
