Dave let out a huge resolute sigh as he stared at the box. He held his mobile phone up to his head trying to use it's light to see the fuses in front of him. Beep Beep..shit 15% battery, that's all I need. He was tired. He had been up since dawn and that fact was starting tell on his eyes as they kept glazing over. He was struggling. How do I do this? How do I even start?, he thought to himself. Just a few short months ago, he had embarked on a change of career with a view to proving them all wrong. Maybe not the best motivation for doing it...

“TUBA” by Rody White

Submitted to Contest #38

Dave sat back. He knew that it was the shine from the sun hitting the window but he really thought the tuba seemed to smile at him. He hadn't always wanted to learn to play the Tuba. ''The Tuba is the best musical instrument you can learn,''. Okay gran. ''Because of it's versatility,''. We get it gran, you like the Tuba. ''When I was in school, I had a beautiful Henderson Tuba''.

Submitted to Contest #35

Today was the day...The first day of Spring. I took a last swig of me morning brew and sauntered on down to the BYOB Gym (BUILD YOURSELF ON BOB as opposed to the bring your own beer gym). Hah! I wish! I wasn´t sure who this Bob character was either but I´d promised meself and even more importantly I´d promised Dahlia. I´d actually been promising her I´d get into shape since I´d met her and the months had turned into years and I could´nt see my feet anymore let alone anything else. BYOB wasn´t exactly the perfect place for my newly proposed p...

Author bio

Dia dhuit! Hi everyone. Thanks for stopping by. My name is Rody Patrick White and along with trying to be a writer, I’m also a husband, dad, cat lover, actor, and sometime artist. As far as the writing goes, I like comedy, fiction and non fiction, sceince fiction, poetry, and political sattire. A few years ago I had my first short story published. It was called Camping with my two gay dads and it it was published by Camptrip magazine. I really like Reedsy as I love being a part of the writing community. I am an Irishman from a small town called Mullingar but I currently live in Valencia on the east coast of Spain with a bi polar cat, a son who surprises me everyday and a wife who is exceptionally good at putting up with all my tom foolery. I’m a very energetic person and I love reading other writers work then enjoying the chat with them afterwards. I only have 4 stories up here so far but while you’re here, I hope you enjoy reading them. Please leave me as much constructive criticism as you like. I try to write everyday even if it is just small bits and pieces. It is a great release for me. Thanks everyone. Slán leat
