Saturday Snippet – It Won’t Happen Again

‘Mrs Martha Whitman and my date of birth is 3rd February 1962.’ Detective Evans spoke once more. ‘You have your own legal representation today?’ ‘Yes,’ Martha said. ‘For the benefit of the tape, can you give your name.’ ‘My name is Sarah Lamington.’ ‘Before we start the interview, I will let you know of yourContinue reading “Saturday Snippet – It Won’t Happen Again”

Spectacle – Word of the Day

https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/ ‘Stop making a spectacle of yourself,’ he said. His words were like invisible barbed wire.

Nothing had been taken from me, and we were together. ‘You’ve been asleep quite a while,’ Dad said. I flung my arms around him and my arms wrappedContinue reading “From Word Prompts – Bethany The Pirate in Training – A New Start”

If I Were a Rich . . .

First of all, I want to say that this picture doesn’t remind me of untold riches. There are two things it reminds me of – one of them are family poker nights when I was a child. My nan, who I never met, used to hold card schools. When mum grew up, her and allContinue reading “If I Were a Rich . . .”
