  1. As the world falls apart around them one couple struggle to stay together.

    Chapter 1

    I've woken up alone again, no idea when Daniel left the bed which worries me, maybe not as much as it should, as much as it would if I really cared about what happened to me. I think that's what should scare me. If something did happen while I slept, wouldn't it be a relief? To not wake up to this life. Stupid, dangerous thoughts I tell myself as I sit up and ease my feet to the floor but I can't seem to shake the idea from my head. 'Think of something else Max,' I tell myself, looking aro

    Good Girl

    Did you hear that, could it be? Calm down girl, just calm down and listen. That is definitely a car engine and I think it's right outside. It's stopped! That was a car door! Oh God, do not run to the door, you've been disappointed too many times. Take it easy, relax, breathe, you haven't a care in the world and you are not bothered if they're coming here or next door, you are Kara Redford and you are above acting this way. That was a key in the door, screw it, it's only polite to be there when t

    Story

    When You Come Back To Me By Sabat Do you believe in ghosts? I didn't until I became one, but trust me, when you're floating upwards, looking down on your body, you start to wonder if maybe it isn't time to rethink some of your beliefs. That's the thing about death, it has a way of shaking its fist in your face and shouting 'Believe this'. Contrary to popular opinion, in your dying moments your life doesn't flash before your eyes. There was to be no longed for Hollywood version

    Story

    A Good Hand By Sabat Looking back on my thirty two years, twenty six if anyone asks, thirty seven if we're being technical, I'm struck by how innocent my younger self was. Innocent, naive, dumb, take your pick, I could probably be charged with all three and if being sexually backward until the age of nineteen counts as a crime I would stand guilty as charged. I think I prefer the term late bloomer, it conjures up images of myself as a virginal maiden waiting for Mr Right rather than the sl
  8. Stayed Too Long At The Fair by Sabat Tom leaned in closer to Andrew, angling his head to Andrew's mouth as he tried to understand what was being said over the blaring music, squeals and screams. He still couldn't make out what his friend was trying to tell him so he turned to face him, walking backwards in time to Andrew's advancing steps, a comfortable waltz that only those truly familiar with each other can manage. He shook his head, shrugged his shoulders and smiled. Andre
  9. Tom and Andrew were two friends trying to learn to make the most of today, for they didn't know what tomorrow would bring.

    Story

    While The Cat's Away By Sabat I think I may be a little bit drunk, or rather I think I may be a little bit too drunk which would explain why I have my hand halfway up a strange mans thigh. I'm not using the drunkeness as an excuse for inappropriate behaviour, I'm using it as reasoning for the fact that I have no idea how my hand came to be there and what's more I can't decide if it was intentional or accidental. I am aware of the fact that I need to use the bathroom and that I am sat
  12. Thanks for the comments. I actually struggled with the ending and went through several drafts as I tried to work out how to 'end' the story, even now I'm not 100% happy with it but I could quite easily have spent forever tinkering with it.
  13. Thanks for all the comments, I really appreciate them. The story evolved from what was originally going to be something which compared each period in the main characters life to a different game, however as it progressed I found that I was having to compromise it in order to make it into what I would consider a short story so I decided to focus on one chapter of his life and one 'game'. I'm glad you enjoyed it, I wasnt sure it was going to work and I did consider not submitting it for the anthology so your supportive comments have been great.
