Every 4th Sunday
Gather your thoughts and stuff them into your pockets with your cold hands. Burrow your head between your shoulders and smother your feelings with the warmth of your gifted, cotton scarf. The same one you always wear at this time of year. The one she gifted you on her last Christmas.

90s winter lessons
*** Frozen fingers can – Tie no shoes. Hot baths bring no – warmth. Cold water thaws. *** Whenever my toes or fingers go numb from the cold, and I rush home in search of warmth, I hover my hand over the hot water tap. But I'm an 80s kid and grew up in the 90s when playing football with ice on the pitch was still allowed. I always remember the sting of bitter shock and disappointment when my freezing cold toes hit the steaming hot water of a lovingly prepared bath.

Oppy: An innocent little murderer
“She’s dead.” “No, no, no. I don’t believe you!” That was thirteen months ago, and I still don’t believe him. Travis, the chief of police. It was him, I know it. He was the last one to see her alive, my mother. They had been seeing each other for a few months before her death. I know he had something to do with it, and he’s covering it up. That’s why I’m here, standing at the foot of his bed in the middle of the night, holding a rifle. His rifle. I know what you’re thinking: he should have kept it locked away. It was. I stole the key three days ago. He doesn’t use it much. It’s not police issue. There’s no reason for him to have it other than that he likes guns.
