[THE HOOK]
It's 1976
It's hot.
I'm eleven and I am witnessing my mum disappear in to, what I heard
called in hush night time voices which travel on hot air through open windows
and up in to my bedroom, 'a nervous breakdown'.
Highly Commended in Global short story competition backed by Bill Bryson. Judge, author Fiona Cooper, 'This story moves with almost cinematic reality, scene by scene, painting a picture which spans many years. The inner fears and feelings of childhood are exquisitely captured and played out in a satisfying and compelling way.' I write for The Hastings Online Times in the guise of Blogger 'Cheapskate'. I have written children's stories and am currently writing literary fiction, Give a Dog a Bone.
