Life

When they were at war, everything was easy. They could yell at each other, throw pillows, and then sleep in different rooms, sulking and ignoring each other.

But when they were at peace, the silence became so thick it choked him.

They stayed like this for years, until one morning she woke up and the only thing left of him was the Jasmine tea he drank every evening and a letter on the Fridge. 

But her?

She liked to fit people into her world like puzzle pieces, so she removed the note, lit a fire, and watched it burn, unopened.

With Outdoor Seating, Too

We’ve a bakery in the village now. A proper one. Bakes their own bread. Cobs. Bloomers. Boules. Baps. It used to be a chip shop. After that, a pedicure shop with fish in tubs of water that ate dead skin off feet. Then it was a dry cleaner, although the shop assistant was jailed for dealing drugs. But now it’s a bakery. Entrance door right next to the community notice board. Scraps of card: Lost cats; lost dogs; lost keys; Found: rusty bike in the creek; window cleaning; maths revision; roommate wanted. We won’t be wanting for fresh bread anymore.
