Mathew’s Box – Writing Prompt
It was the driest summer since records began. The earth was scorched and barren, stripped of every last drop of moisture from the devilish heat of the sun. The sky was a deep, unrelenting, cloudless blue that beat down like the very gates of hell. Global warming, some said. The new normal, said others. River […]

Creative Writing Prompt “That’s her mum.” “Who’s mum?” “Nancy’s mum!” He grunts in reply, and I know I’ve lost him, he’s probably sick of hearing me talk about Nancy as awful as that sounds – poor woman. I nip my lower lip between my teeth as I wonder whether it would be insensitive of me […]

Chaos Continues
In the chaos that cycled around her, just for a moment she surrendered. Shoulders slumped, eyelids heavy, reality suspended. The world trickled off her like a rain shower in the spring.
