“Oh look!” Their eyes glistened with tears as the Robin danced on the windowsill. “It’s Dad, come to say Merry Christmas.”

The #Wren sighed. Damn those Robins, always distracting people. It dropped the note & flew off. They’d have to face the coming storm without warning #vss365

‘#Ugly Beach,’ they call it, on account of its craggy coastline & seaweed shore.

It’s the perfect place to meet. That way, I won’t fall in love.

But against this backdrop, you only dazzle more. My heart is a seagull, flapping & shrieking as it plunges into the murky sea.#vss365

You’re talking but I’m dazzled by your eyes, glowing #lambent in the soft candlelight.
‘Don’t fight it’ they whisper, dancing in a kaleidoscope of green, yellow & blue. ‘Just let it happen.’

I realise you’ve asked me a question.
‘Whatever you want,’ I reply, freefalling. #vss365

The #blood is still coming. It’s day 4. I can’t have long left now.

I can’t tell Mum, she has enough to worry about. So I leave her a note. I expect I’ll be gone by morning. What is wrong with me?

I hide my blood-soaked underwear with the rest & curl up to sleep. #vss365

#Ominous waves crash at my feet. I can feel my life fading as fast as the sand sliding between my toes. Death awaits.

A young girl skips by. It’s like seeing new people arrive on the last day of your holiday. Sickening.

‘It’s ok’ she says. ‘You get more than 1 holiday.’ #vss365

That accent, the way his Rs whirred at
the back of his throat like motors,
drove me wild. Everything sounds romantic in French.

But when you stumbled in & said, "fancy some chips?' I realised nothing can make a heart sing quite like one’s #native language. And potatoes. #vss365

It’s crept up on us, insidious. The #fungus that feeds on our decaying relationship.

Here we are, in paradise, but I can’t see or reach you. The sun only magnifies the rotting smell, & the palm trees are wafting us away.

Let’s curl up here in the sand & bury ourselves. #vss365

It was a #siren-call of a different kind. The sound of an ambulance played like a symphony, enticing her. A career as a Paramedic was the obvious choice.

‘You’re a natural,’ they said as she bent over the resuscitation dummy. ‘But..’
The dummy blinked & sat up to listen. #vss365

I’ll give ‘em trick or treat. They set my lawn on #fire last yr. So I’ve dusted the cookies w/ special ‘sugar.’
‘I made a new batch,’ says my wife. ‘Dropped the 1st lot. Oops!’
I choke on my tea. Is she trying to #spook me?
‘Drink up dear. I added extra sugar.’ #vss365 #vssmurder
