Exceptions

Two cards. Two identical messages dripping with syrupy nonsense. Hearts and flowers tastefully displayed on blank backgrounds with 'Ruby Anniversary' looping in that handwritten font that no one ever uses with the paper inserts that make no sense. Each neatly tucked away in the back of the shelves, visible only to someone specifically searching for them. Ivan glanced at the gaudy cards with their ridiculously patronising messages. A milestone in their lives reduced to an annoying turn of phrase that said nothing about the people who had accomplished it. They were all overly romanticised or sickly sweet. There was no middle ground. No "Well d

Colours

Grey is a non-colour. A state of blankness than white could ever be and more dull than black could hope to achieve. On days like today, when the sky is veiled with clouds of impending rain and the sun cannot hope to break through, grey washes over everything. Even the grass, vibrant and green in the sunlight, has lost its vitality, the colour leeched by the overwhelming dullness. There is no real warning. The roar of the wind prevents any other sound from being heard, trying to frighten those who heed it into leaving it with nothing but the waving grasses and the occasional sheep for company. This intruder in red chooses not to listen to the

Something Longed For

Breathe An expanse of Causeway coastline stretches out before me in a mix of greys. Dark. Light. Even the sea is grey with glimpses of white foam and green tinges in an attempt to break the monotony of the landscape. Oh God The sky, once blue and clear, is now a dark, misted veil that seems to depress anyone who looks at it. Except, apparently, two chattering streaks high above me, swooping and soaring. It's all right Even the plant life fights against the dullness. The muddy pathways are decorated with the green of the grasses and the pale yellow of the primroses, striking against the murkiness. You're fine My dad has his coat on. A

A costume

My blue skirt flares, threatening to leave me behind. A camera-toting witch grins in delight before flying off to capture another unsuspecting soul. Angela flutters over, pausing briefly in her complaints about the cold, to show me to my station for the night. One of the many green-and-black minions rolls their eyes while another gives me a Cheshire-Cat grin. I adjust a frilled strap (too big) before waving at a latecomer whose eyes are glued to his watch. I scan the contents of a werewolf's basket. Bread. Milk. Tarts. Two princesses stare at the black ribbon in my blonde hair, curious. Sporticus offers me a melting chocolate. A cowboy cart

Something Stolen by Fairyshrub, literature

Literature

Something Stolen

In most households, if something goes missing, you retrace your steps, hoping to find it. In my house, you search my sister's room. Having reached a stage where little grosses me out, the necessity of entering that jungled wasteland she calls a 'bedroom' makes me balk. In order to rescue my property, I have no choice. Somewhat comforted in the knowledge that I have all my shots, I peek through the door, meeting the musky scent of sweat and (Mum's) hair mousse. Mountains of clothes slump in various degrees of cleanliness, concealing nothing. Mugs rest on every available surface, potential life forms taking shape within. Eyes scan furniture

Shameless advertising

0 min read

I thought I should probably update this thing and what better way to do it than by spreading the wonderful talents of a few friends of mine and the world that they have created? It more or less began with the strange mind of ~optical-jackson (https://www.deviantart.com/optical-jackson) who created a wonderful character named Rauda. While originally created for the Doctor Who universe, she eventually became a fighter from Vinland, living in medieval Europe. After writing about this character for some time, she began introducing several of us to this world, including two friends who created Javier, 'the Peacock' Templar and Jared 'The Bearsark'. Between the three of them, this world

TO DOCTOR WHO FANS EVERYWHERE

0 min read

Today, Elisabeth Sladen, star of Doctor Who and the Sarah Jane adventures, has died aged 63. Sladen played Sarah Jane Smith, companion for the third and fourth Doctors before returning to the theatre. In 2006, she briefly resumed her role opposite tenth Doctor, David Tennant before being given her own spin-off series, the Sarah Jane adventures. Although this has come out of the blue for many fans, it seems she was battling cancer for a while now. I know that our thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones right now.

Annie Leibovitz

0 min read

For those of you who may or may not know, acclaimed photographer Annie Leibovitz has been releasing a number of images featuring celebrities as various Disney characters. These have included Julianne Moore as Ariel and David Beckham as Prince Philip from 'Sleeping Beauty'. Now she has released three more images featuring Penelope Cruz and Jeff Bridges as Belle and the transformed Beast, Alec Baldwin and Olivia Wilde as the Magic Mirror and Evil Queen from 'Snow White' and Queen Latifah as Ursula. Absolutely gorgeous work, it is definitely worth a look, especially Olivia Wilde's Evil Queen. It's spookily similar to the original animated chara
