THE RANDOM QUOTES CHALLENGE #joinme #quotationchallenge

So everyday until the end of the year, I am going to endeavour to write a piece based around a random quote from this generator: http://www.feath.com/idea/quote.htm It’s a coincidence that the generator is clearly supposed to be used as a writing prompt; this is something I have been thinking of doing for a while. So join me…

The Laughing Dalek

Good news, I survived the flight from Marrakech*. Bad news, I have literally lost the TARDIS. DHL have mislaid it in Surrey somewhere. True Fact. No one wants to be the Silurian at the party. I know Haters gotta Hate, but don’t be  one of them, sad and alone on a Friday night, with no-one…

Evol: Part 1

Everyone was talking about it. Or at least the advertisement said that everyone was talking about it. The greatest Evolution since… Evolution! Admittedly, Kate’s friends, family and casual acquaintances didn’t know what it did exactly but they had all heard from a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend that it was the ‘only thing’. Kate rolled her eyes at the…

Train Story 4: tuna

Tuna was the dominant smell. The whole carriage was high with the stench. People were screaming, laughing, screwing, fighting. I had thought many thing about the end of the world; I had expected human degradation and desperation; but never the smell of tuna. Overwrought I struggled out of my seat and down the seething aisle….

Story on a train 3: Moving On

Singing “we are the champions” at the top of her voice, Clara tottered down the platform as high as her heels and only half as sensible. It had been a night of good byes. One person lost to cancer by lunch time. One boyfriend, now ex-boyfriend, said good bye over a blazing row and a…

Story on a train 2: Rings

Oh-my-God-oh-my-god-oh-my-god-oh-my-god-oh-my-god-oh-my-god-oh-my-god-oh-my-god-oh-my-god-oh-my-god. Breathe, you stupid woman. Breathe. Oh-my-God-oh-my-god-oh-my-god-oh-my-god-oh-my-god-oh-my-god-oh-my-god-oh-my-god. What the Hell am I going to do? I can feel the ring on my finger burning my skin. Making the sheathed patch of skin itch and scratch and writhe away from the metal. Or am I projecting too much? I really need to get a grip. I…

Story on a train 1: Lamia

The man opposite was largely indifferent to her ample charms. This was rather annoying, as she was pretty sure she was more interesting than the Sudoku in the blasted paper. She licked her lips, pouting out the window at the grey sky and Battersea Dog’s Home as it flew past. That stench. It followed her….

Horton Hears A Huhne

I love it when you find notes and fragments of stuff you started writing a long time ago. You forget all about it and get to be disappointed in yourself all over again. This nugget was me trying to turn Chris Huhne’s court case into a Dr Seuss book. Natural thing to spend your time…
