Submitted to Contest #82

“I go away on holiday for 2-weeks!!!! And…” Garry spluttered at a loss for words. “Dad… You’re being dramatic,” his daughter sighed. “I think this is a rather good time to be dramatic!” Garry shouted excitedly, rocking furiously on his heels. “I don’t want IT; I don’t need IT; you need to take IT out!” “I can’t just take it out Dad, you know that! And as for not needing...

“Speaking Out Loud” by Regina Morrison

Submitted to Contest #76

“You don’t say much, do you?” He sat on the edge of the hospital bed and smiled politely at the efficient looking nurse, who stood clipboard in hand at the foot of the bed. “Alright, Mr…” She flipped the pages back, “Mr Grey, the doctor will be along in a couple of minutes to go over some things with you.” He smiled again. The nurse clicked away and soon ...

Submitted to Contest #59

The sound of squealing brakes and tyres hardly caused a head to turn in the hum-drum of city noises. A small, discoloured white Volkswagen golf manoeuvered inch by inch between two beasts of SUVs; its wheels protesting the whole way as they slid right, left, forward, back- finally parked. “Can’t be...Can’t be..late,” Zara muttered as she shoved keys into her handbag; grabbed her bursting briefcase; raised her eyes expressively in the rear-view mirror; flattened a non-exi...

Author bio

Hi lovely people! To be honest I have no idea what to write in a bio... I have been writing for my entire life. It all began really with 'Little Women' and the fact that Meg kept a diary. I love journaling, writing about things I see, do and feel. It is way to express my thoughts and work through things that happen in my life. I also love to read! Words are such crunchy, deliciously edible things! My favourite books include "The Anne Series" by L.M.Montgomery and all of Jane Austen's works. :) When I'm not writing or reading, I'm listening to audiobooks whilst dabbling in another passion of mine: sewing! I like creating stuff out of stuff! Constructive criticism welcome! :) Please check out my new website for all things reading, writing and sewing! :) https://scribblesbyr.wixsite.com/scribbles
