I awoke with a start.

I had fallen asleep!

I shook my head in an attempt to wake up more. How long had I been asleep? I would be in trouble now. Smith was not a patient man and he would…

‘Oof!’

What was that?

I looked up, and in the faint glow of my lamp, I saw a pair of boots waving about a bit.

The boots were attached to red-covered legs.

I was a bit hot and feverish, and I wondered whether I was still dreaming. I put my hand out and touched one of the boots...

Organizational: 

After a family tragedy, young David decides to live by himself in his home where he can be his true self, Katie. It's almost like a dream as Katie explores her new life.

But it's not easy. Where will she get money? How can an eleven-year-old deal with something as mundane as shopping when at any moment some adult may decide she needs help from police, doctors, teachers or lawyers?

It's lonely, too. Katie needs a friend, but who can she trust with her secret? That she's just a child living in her home, alone?

Christmas Special!

 

As I walked home from school, I rubbed my ribs.
David Barnes had kicked me there just outside the school gates.
He often waited for me before school and took my dinner money from me
when he knew that no one could see him do the dirty deed.

Nancy and I stood a little behind. She gripped my hand fiercely. I think that she was as afraid of rejection as I was.

This was the moment of truth.

Mummy and Sally moved aside and he finally saw us for the first time...

I awoke suddenly from a light sleep.

It was very dark, but I had heard a strange noise, a sort of scraping and tearing sound and I could feel a sort of vibration.

I yawned, wondering what the strange sound was.

I was soon to find out…

Something woke me up.
It was almost pitch dark except for a faint glow coming from the port hole. I heard faint engine sounds and felt a slight vibration beneath me. The ship was moving gently, almost imperceptively under me.
I had no idea what had woken me up, but there was something that was bothering me, but I could not put my finger on it.

We Shall Fight On The Beaches...12 ~ Final Chapter

I woke up. It was gloomy almost dark with just the bedside lamp on. I was in Nan’s bed for some reason. I looked over to the corner. She was there, fast asleep, a book on her lap, looking peaceful.

The rain was coming down in sheets. I could barely see the other side of the pitch. The pitch? That was a laugh; it was an incredibly muddy quagmire with next to no grass down the middle. I had played on better surfaces at the local park.The rain was coming down in sheets. I could barely see the other side of the pitch. The pitch?

We got out of the car. You don’t argue with a policeman armed to the teeth…

I screeched to a stop, the engine running.

My heart was in my mouth.

There, in front of us were no less than three police cars, a police van and an ambulance.

Amelia was sitting in the corner, rocking herself and crying. I went over and sat beside her and gave her a hug…

As I heard the sound of an engine grow fainter, I felt more despair at that moment than I have ever felt in my life.

Nightmare

I woke up screaming and crying my eyes out.

Before I knew it, I was being hugged.

Even before I opened my eyes, I knew that it was my mother hugging me. She had that lovely ‘Mum’ smell, a trace of perfume and that indefinable trace of something else that was unique to Mum.

‘What is it honey?’

I pulled myself together, just a bit.

Just then, a mobile started ringing.

We both looked around. On the bedside cabinet, my burner phone was ringing and vibrating.

I stood up and went over to it.
