Fragment

Writers write.
So they say. 
Writers write. Every day.
Write what you know. Tell your story.
But I am not a writer and my story is so very dull. 
So let me tell you another one. A story about some people I don’t know at all.


Winter couldn’t be bothered. 
It couldn’t be bothered to be a proper winter. It couldn’t find the energy to make it snow and make the landscape into a fairy tale. It couldn’t be bothered to destroy the sun properly. It just sat back and let it rain.

Rain could be bothered. Rain always had the energy. Rain was eternal.

They lived and loved in a house. She was always to cold and he was always too hot. This is a problem compounded by Winter and the central heating that dries us out and lets us down.

He sat in a chair that wasn’t very comfortable and thought about his life. He thought about what could have happened to him but never did. He thought about the choices he had made and where they had led him. He thought that because there was nothing good on the television.

I am never shown any love and I don’t really do anything I enjoy. All the things I am supposed to enjoy either I don’t or I get stopped from doing by other people who are supposed to care about me. I am now old enough to know I will never get what I want in my life. This is it, my best days are behind me and I wasted them on making do. The sun comes out and I get sunburn in the hope that it will fix my skin. In the hope it will make me better. It just makes my skin fall off in different ways and hurt from a new angle. I look for stuff to fill the box I live in. The space is getting smaller and ...

Nightclubbing

 Who? I know this one’s name. Debbi. With an I and no e. She told me that a few times. She told me a lot of things. Over and over again. Pretty with make-up prettier without. I thought she was just another girl out for a night out. Another party girl. Out with her friends who seemed not to be there right now. Where were they? Why has they left her like this? Who would abandon someone this drunk? She wasn’t drunk though. She had just been made to look that way.   Where? On a kind of upholstered bench in a club in Nottingham that had seen better days. Everything in there was something you could get stuck to. Everything in there had all the fluids spilt on it at some point. A place where the lights had gone out and not yet been replaced. Somewhere that was the same today as it was in the 70’s. She was collapsed in on herself. Leaning slightly to the left and looking peaceful as she dribbled on herself. Her glass had toppled over spilling whatever was in it all over whatev...
