The New Friends
"'I wish we'd never met them.' I've lost count of how many times I've said that since that damn holiday in Spain.

“She had not known the weight until she felt the freedom.”
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
“His heart was like a sensitive plant, that opens for a moment in the sunshine, but curls up and shrinks into itself at the slightest touch of the finger, or the lightest breath of wind.”
Karitas Untitled
"Just like the lava, time slowly became overgrown by moss.”
Staggering Hubris: The Memoir Of Boris Johnson’s Most Classic Spad: The ‘Rona Years, Vol. 1
"2019 was a year to celebrate! We overcame Corbyn and his Bolshevik revolution and successfully duped the northerners into thinking we care about them (lol) to win an enormous election victory; Brexit is in the oven/defrosting/ready to be put in the microwave at some point and we have Boris at the helm."
Let Me Tell You What I Mean
“Make a place available to the eyes, and in certain ways it is no longer available to the imagination.”
