As pink dawn breaks, Dragon roars brimstone and yet another set of ironclad knights scuttle. Back in her dark cave, Dragon curls her heavy tail around her egg and whimper-dreams of rescue. #9forNavaratri #courage

Craggy shoulders squared, granite thighs steady. Marble heart, bivalve heavy, pumping blood to brachiopod laden limestone lungs. A lifetime fossilised in flesh. Igneous skin. Magma within. This woman is ready. #30words30days #Rock (First published 2020 so cheating a bit)

Since the Whipsnade riots of ‘56, elephants have ruled the South Downs. Now they’re on the march again, up as far as Wimbledon. How long before they reach Parliament? And who doesn’t secretly hope the elephants will win? #9forNavaratri

It’s become a ritual of mine to enter, fail to get anywhere, try again, fail better (still don’t get anywhere but I can tell the difference 😁) . Third time the charm?

He smelled of petrichor. It was the chief reason I loved him, why I ignored the sometimes whiff of cherry lipstick and fresh rubber. Day I got Covid I left. #30Words30Days

I push away the screen. The crowd gasps. My wings shimmer in the theatre lights. ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you with my final metamorphosis. Behold.’ Someone screams. Too late. I am complete. I am hungry. #whqcommunity #microflashmonday

McGinty’s goat is a malevolent creature. One opal eye, blank as egg white, that’s bad enough, but the clear eye reflects your soul back at you, unless you bribe the beast with tobacco. McGinty’s never short of a smoke, alright. #MicroflashMonday and #WHQCommunity .
