Kanky’s Ginnel
The cold was gnawing rather than biting: a slow, painful, rasping sensation. The lack of light in Linda’s drab bedsit – its’ one window faced a brick wall – meant it was marginally less warm than the street outside. She had finally broken down and switched on a lamp, straining her eyes as she…

FROSTBITE
The sun shines like polished gold: still bright, but tarnishing around the edges, with the certainty that it will fade until no light remains.

Mine Shaft to Hell
A scorpion with a death wish skittered onto my boot. I stomped the ground until it fell off and squashed it flat. Orange goop oozed from its body like nothing I’d witnessed before in my entire sixty years. Thousands of the darn pests had emerged since the mine collapse, filled with slime and running around…

ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE
Dark clouds had been gathering since sunrise, slowly blotting out the sky and draping the uniformed rows of grave markers with shadows. A biting wind transformed a scatter of dead leaves into a swirling mass that spiraled into a dance of death before falling back to the earth to wait for another gust…
