Nobody tells you what happens after the upgrade.
Isabella's just trying to survive-bad job, glitchy city, and a body caught between patches.
Life's stuck buffering.
But she's not ready to quit. Not yet.

The drive south was awful, almost entirely on motorways once we had hit the edge of Newcastle. Partway through, Maz passed a disc forward, and we spent the next fifty minutes or so listening to ‘Galloways’ by Jez Lowe.
“Dad?”
LC, once again daring to break a silence, even if it was filled with someone else’s music.

Who is That Girl
Saturday morning saw us all at the local pop radio station in our street clothes. Faith was now clinging to Steve like she didn’t want him to get away again. Of course the subject of the book came up after we had said how happy we were to be here and that the crowd last night was fantastic.

Riordan then saw Angela looking at us so she beckoned her over. “Angela” she said “I know that Patsy and her band have to fly to Atlanta tomorrow morning; when does ‘Amazon’ fly to Miami, I know the first show is Thursday?” Angela said they were scheduled out on Monday so Riordan said “I want to reschedule to Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning and I want access to the K Beat studio with Chris here so that the whole band can see some video and audio; it may take some hours to watch.”

Squaddie
A Short Story
By Maryanne Peters
The Special Air Service is one of the most prestigious of special forces units, if not the most prestigious. All other special forces units have been modelled on it or some of its practices. One key element is that membership is on merit as assessed by a secret and non-reviewable internal selection process. This has always been seen as a strength. But it has been observed that it may also account for the fact that no woman has ever been admitted to the unit.

I have to write this down, but I am completely bewildered as to how I can make it all make sense. My life has settled down to be about as predictable as a transgendered, self-employed businesswoman and single mother can get - which sentence is downright silly once I put it down. I mean… really!

To
Not Let Go
Chapter
3.2
As
we approached the door to the downstairs, we began to hear what
sounded like excited shouting. It was like people were watching a
sport of some kind. We arrived behind a line of men cheering and
stomping their feet. They were dressed in what looked like simple
white togas like I had seen in pictures of Ancient Rome.
We
stood there for a moment, then one of the men turned a bit and caught
sight of us. “My friends!” he exclaimed, almost
musically. “You appear to be new here!” He spoke
animatedly until he caught sight of me. "Child! What are you
doing dressed so shamefully?"

CHAPTER 50
We changed onto the faster train at New Street, the old Commer left behind on our drive in Cannock as Dad refused outright to even think of trying to drive it through London, much less park it. The train wasn’t that fast in the end, but we finally stepped out onto a platform in Euston, people surging around us in a clear hurry, and equally as clear in their idea of the right way to go. I had asked around at work, and so we headed down Euston Road towards King’s Cross, where I had been told there were a number of cheaper guest houses.

False Memory Syndrome
A Short Story
By Maryanne Peters
You have to understand why I did it. I had suffered more than anybody I know. Even if I had not been convicted, the shame of it would have been enough to ruin my life. It did ruin my life. I was accused of molesting my own daughter. Who could imagine such a thing.
All of the accusations were based on “recovered memory”. Have you heard of that?

Framing the narrative is the best way to have people come around to your way of thinking. That is why, word choice, members of the audience, and timing is important as to when to bring up a subject. Lori knew how to make people see things her way. This knowledge was why she aborted the counter offense on Luke as soon as she walked into her Aunt Bridget’s home. Her dad was there.

The Uniquorn
by Erin Halfelven
(with apologies to Ogden Nash)
The Uniquorn is a singular beast,
There's only one, at most. At least,
If you've met the Uniquorn
As sure as you're born—
And you can tell your mother—
You'll never meet another.

Kim managed to get at least part of her mind working again. Simone was patiently waiting for an answer.
“Do… Do you really think that we would be good together?” said Kim in a very hesitant way.
Then Kim managed a small smile.
“And it is nothing to do with the fact that you want to move to Norwich? You said that very thing yourself?”
Simone smiled.
“I see the reporter side of you surfacing for the first time.”

Light a Candle
I backed away from Mr. Martin and stood in the middle of the hallway with three million voices running through my mind—all of them screaming sand laughing at me, with the exception of one, but it next to impossible to hear through the din. The yelling was so loud I kneeled to the floor and closed my eyes in an attempt to silence it all.
