A time machine wedding, where you can see your future life ahead of you. Not for everyone, but a chance to see the good times, the bad times, and whether you want to be part of the tangled test of time.

Darlene
I would have happily married Darlene if it weren’t for her annoying habit of telling me what to do. If I want to sit in front of the television, binge watching Greys Anatomy, then that was my privilege. When she was cleaning the house from top to bottom, waking me up at six in theContinue reading “Darlene”
Pedal Power
”Good idea to get those rocket powered bikes,’ Toby said, ‘Nought to sixty in ten seconds flat.” ”Yea, glad we invested in the keep the elderly fit again scheme.” 2042 had been a tough year, the retirement age moved up to eighty, they had to keep healthy somehow.

Home Sweet Home
Thank you Fandango for your Flash Fiction Challenge. Daddy promised he would be home today, in his lorry. He promised me he would bring me a dolly all the way from Paris. Yet, I watch the fog drift in from the east, and see nothing but the bridge meander into the distance. I sit here,Continue reading “Home Sweet Home”
That’s Amore
The painting below is called The Guitar Player by José Ferraz de Almeida Júnior and was found at Wikimedia Commons.

I wanted to escape, but I wasContinue reading “Snakes, Fears, and a New Pet”

A Hint of a Rose – #Fandango’s Flashback Friday
”You view the world with rose coloured glasses my girl.” Her mother was always the same when she mentioned travelling the world. It was an mixed sensation of guilt, and anger all mixed into one ball of tangled wool. One good tug, and the whole emotional thread would unravel. “Mum, I’m not expecting it toContinue reading “A Hint of a Rose – #Fandango’s Flashback Friday”
For Fandango’s Flash Fiction Challenge
Poised at the back of the stage, the lights beamed across the drum set. He was born to play, and though fifty years flew by, his younger self sat on the comfortable stool. The only change, an I pad showed his playlist for the concert. At first he wasn’t sure, but his six year oldContinue reading “For Fandango’s Flash Fiction Challenge”
Hermione in Training
Words, indented on a page, full of knowledge, and the humiliation paled into nothingness. She was like a sponge, imprinting all their joy, into her mind. One day, her dream to be a doctor would come true. It didn’t matter about the name calling, or even the pushing in the corridor. Sat in full classrooms,Continue reading “Hermione in Training”
