oh - one other thing - i remember gary saying when i did that course that they get a truly ridiculous number of stories that start with alarm clocks ringing, for some reason. a more original start to your story might impress them.

Hello, First thing to fix is your consistency with tense. you switch between past and present a bit in the beginning. I agree with you, some of the early descriptive stuff (ie. the blood) is a bit turgid, and if this is for the USC creative writin…

Woah, just realised how old the entries I'm commenting on are. Oh well, what's a bit of dust...? :) *brushes self* My internal rude-word bleeper was going off to the maximum while reading this; my ears are kind of ringing. But, as Naomi said... it'…

"I feel like I’m stealing glances at some woman’s body; some woman who wouldn’t acknowledge me if I looked at her in the street." ... that line just stood out to me. In a good way. All-in-all though, thank-you for the nice read. :)

Her taut limbs draw the length of her body through the water and she fills the pool - as if nothing else would fit in there with her. Her strokes extend to the width, her approach and departure renders each end unavailable. It’s all hers. She never…

You have to take me with you, you’re stuck with me now. The flick of my hair, the flash of my eye when you gall me, the way I shift and shuffle next to you when I’m uncomfortable, the way I move when our bodies are together. You can try but you won’…

this piece calmed my soul. i know that's a dreadfully wanky thing to say, but it's true.

I couldn't agree more Caitlin, I deliberately left out a thorough exploration of the illness referenced here for fear of not doing it justice. I have a theoretical understanding of Anti-Social Personality Disorder but I didn't feel I was qualified t…

i like this character! it is a character, isn't it? the only trouble with it, i think, is that that kind of person might not have the self-awareness to describe his/her habits and quirks in this way - it's very lucid and the conversational tone make…

separation (short fiction)

Her taut limbs draw the length of her body through the water and she fills the pool - as if nothing else would fit in there with her. Her strokes extend to the width, her approach and departure renders each end unavailable. It’s all hers.
She never notices me watching her, I’m not sure she’d like it if she did – I feel like I’m stealing glances at some woman’s body; some woman who wouldn’t acknowledge me if I looked at her in the street.

I watch her grace, her smooth, controlled motion; I hear… Continue

the things we love

You have to take me with you, you’re stuck with me now. The flick of my hair, the flash of my eye when you gall me, the way I shift and shuffle next to you when I’m uncomfortable, the way I move when our bodies are together. You can try but you won’t forget it, just like I’m going to carry that kiss on my shoulder, that grasp in my hands and that guilt on my back all my life. all you’ve loved stays with you in your heart and that’s ok for me because I never stopped loving you, but you’d sooner b… Continue

solitary - LANGUAGE WARNING

Anti-social personality disorder. Disorder, they say, like it’s a bad thing – like not giving a shit about these worthless fucks is a bad, bad thing. Stupid, lazy, bludging, lying, whinging, worthless fucks. What’s there to be pro about? They’re just useless. I don’t need them, I need food and water and somewhere to sleep and I need peace and fucking quiet.

Always in my face, the fucks. Always talking and whining and touching – touching me like i’m some thing they can rub against, run into, hit… Continue

maybe tomorrow

Phillipa doesn’t have time for it today. She’s seen it approaching like a rumbling, billowing grey mass of storm. It’s been coming in slow motion, probably for years. Phil looks at her with something like half empty sadness, half reproach – it must have been there for some time, fermenting away, all mixed up in his frothing, buzzing ideas about ageing, his dissatisfaction with his work, his middling lack of comprehension where the children are concerned. The children he seems to forget pushing f… Continue
