Weekly Contest #363
Of A Wild Lake It was the sailing club on the far shore that confused me; it wasn’t there then. At the time, the lake had very few visitors as the paths were merely scratchy animal runs, lined with briar, thistle and nettles. There had been an unpleasant smell coming from the murky waters, and algae covered much of the surface closer to the banks. I recall Tony was very disappointed, grumbling, ‘Don’t remember it being this bad when I came here with Dad, as a kid.'Now, so Amy tells me, the route we’d used to reach the shore was part of a sys...
Weekly Contest #340
Embers Alice and Toby had already grown bored with the tour even before they reached the master bedroom of the manor house. Despite the grandeur of the property, the only thing that had impressed them so far was the massive glass chandelier suspended in the entrance hall. Alice had been reluctant to walk under it, as they made their way up the wide staircase to the first-floor landing. This was the sixth stately home the family had visited in the space of two weeks. Weeks that would normally have seen them all on a beach somewhere warm, but...
Weekly Contest #272
It started with my parents. Doesn’t it always? Or, more precisely with my father. If he’d been irascible and bad tempered before, he was positively cantankerous and violent after he came back from Trafalgar, sporting a crutch, a missing a foot and a naval pension which he strictly didn’t need. Mother was unable to conceive after she had me and Father took this as a personal affront, further darkening his already pitch-black moods. Consequently, he largely ignored Mother and treated me with contempt as if it was my fault I wasn’t a son,...
Weekly Contest #260
I only worked with her the one time, but we was instant friends from the start, and she’ll tell you the same. During the days when she couldn’t face the cam’ras, when her insecur’ties et up her confidence and her fears cramped her gut so much as she found she couldn’t function prop’ly, we’d crawl under the set and she’d tell me about her life and her days before becomin’ famous. I ain’t never worked with anyone more famous than her. Sometimes Ralph and young Tommy come with us, they share a love of animals; dogs and horses mainly. Tom...
Weekly Contest #258
Then: Aihangela carefully removes the brown cardboard envelope from the archive wrapper. Despite being enclosed in acid free tissue, time has still faded the edges and she wonders whether it will be suitable, but reasons she can’t go through the hassle of contacting Mieki in Chancellery to see if he can find another one at such short notice Fortunately, she kept the ancient printer from a previous occasion - using her techTab to avoid Mieki’s scrutiny - and the resultant label, with its address and obsolete barcode is waiting on her de...
