December Exclusive - "Christmas Glow" - Part 1 of 2
New Albany, Ohio
Madison sits in the driver’s seat of the white Ford Escape. “When I get my own car,” she says, “it won’t be basic like this.” She considers the possibilities and then turns to Abbie. “I should get a truck. L...

“No guilt-trip,” Cecelia says, looking over her shoulder as she reverses out of the driveway.
“I know,” Rachel says. She lies down beside her sister on the folded-down seats, pulls the tartan travel blanket over the both of them. Just until they get out of town. Just until they’re safe.
Cecelia starts the car, and she wonde...

how does it look – two teenage girls leaving the clinic, heading up the high street and then through the park? Is it suspicious? Is it normal? Will someone try to stop them? Will someone sound the alarm?
Such thoughts go through Katie’s mind as she walks with Jessie.
It’s a fine October day. Blue skies and warm sunshine. A coup...

Christmas Day
I stand in my mother’s living room, still in my coat, still holding a bag of gifts. I don’t know where to put myself, I don’t know what to say.
“They’re so cute at this age,” Mom says. She’s dressed my Uncle Dan in a reindeer onesie, put a Santa hat on his head, and is taking pictures with her pho...

December 2022
45 minutes from Parkdale
Today, I find myself on a train, sitting opposite a guy in a suit. He’s late thirties and digging into his second mince pie. I look at the Marks and Spencer box on the table between us. There’s four more, and I wonder if he’s planning to finish the lot be...

You want to know your real name? The one you came here with?” The question lingers as Nicole walks, hand in hand, with Rachel.
Nicole doesn’t have a secret name, just as she isn’t a secret boy. The idea! The absurdity! If ever there was a girly-girl, a perfect princess, it’s Nicole.
Yes, there are some missing pieces...

On Fridays, Parkdale Primary School pupils get out at 12:30 PM . Rachel arrives at the 3R class exactly thirty minutes earlier.
All the teachers know her, and it doesn’t take much persuasion for Rachel to get Nicole into the hallway for a ‘quick chat’.
“Come on,” she says to Nicole. She doesn’t take her hand, just beckons...

Mommy remains in the kitchen. Leo and Aria can hear the noises of washing-up, of putting-things-away.
The phone is in Aria’s hands. At first, Leo is jealous. He wants the phone, he wants to press on the screen, he would love to swipe and tap like a big boy. And who knows? Perhaps Mommy has games on her phone! Leo can feel a whine at the ...

Leo the lion wakes up when Aria pokes him in the eye.
“Owww.”
Leo doesn’t want to wake up because he was having an excellent dream. The wordless kind, where he’s flying but not in a scary way. Where he ends and the rest of the world begins doesn’t matter. Because he’s pure energy, he’s complete delight. And there’s th...

In the kitchen, Mom laughs. “She’s pretending? It’s an act?”
Leo shakes his head. “Not all of it.” He stands by the sink, sips his coffee from a travel mug. “How can I put this? Aria…she thinks like a toddler, pretty much, but she still remembers her old life. So, she knows she did the food delivery job, but-”

They’re not going to rush. At least, they’re not going to look as though they’re rushing. They won’t panic. They won’t, frankly, act like headstrong teenagers. These teen agents, in the final analysis, are all much older and wiser than they look.
Out by Christmas, Luke said, according to Rachel. Or by Halloween if we...

It’s not Ariana Grande or Selena Gomez when Jessie arrives. She rolls her eyes at Rachel. “Jazz and brandy? You and Luke a thing now?”
“No things,” Rachel replies. “We don’t have time for things.”
Jessie sips from her glass. “Me neither, I suppose.” She looks over at Katie, who after greeting her with...

November Flash tale #2 - "Tatas"
London Heathrow, Terminal 5
Sometime during 2023
Valerie hates the airport. She especially hates Heathrow. She really, really hates Terminal 5. Is there anything worse than flying?

Tom sits in the backseat of his own Ford Escape. Obviously, he’s not driving. That’s Grandma’s job. He cuddles the brown teddy bear he had woken up from his nap with. (“A bear for my favorite bear!” Grandma had cooed).

Two places are set at the kitchen table. The makings of lunch are ready on the counter. Michelle ties an apron around her waist as if getting ready to do battle. Tom’s stomach gurgles in anticipation. He should have had more for breakfast than coffee and a cruller. Now, he feels as though he’ll do anything for Michelle’s – ‘Mom’s’ ...

Tom eyes his progress from the top of the ladder. A little messy, but good enough. And he can still get back in time for the second half.
“Sticky fingers!”
Michelle's observation is true. The facts are accurate; it’s just the tone that Tom finds jarring. His mother-in-...
