Premonition

Waiting at the bus stop I suddenly find myself thinking about someone I haven't seen for a couple of years. Thirty minutes later I bump into her in town.

Acceptance

Revisiting an old song for writing inspiration, the lyrics no longer flood me with sadness.

Wind blown

A white picket fence, flung across the pavement, bears witness to the ferocity of the wind in the depths of the night.

Coffee break

Over coffee we dissect a story in the news and regret that we can not predict its outcome.

A visit

The wind howls and rain is buffetted on to obscured glass as the vampire searches for a vein. Two attempts later there is surprisingly just enough blood in the test tube to be sent off for testing.

Sunshine after the rain

Half a swirly lemon cheesecake, a gift from a friend, shines out at me when I open the fridge door.

Doom and gloom

The new year descends upon us in a dark mist of rain, a reflection, perhaps, of sadness which has crept too close in the last few days.
