Taking the plunge
"I can't do it.' Emma stood at the top of the plunge, knowing that this was a defining moment of her life. To leap or not to leap? She was attached to the world by a piece of elastic, faced with an abyss below her and a potentially disappointed partner beside her.

Strange Meeting
"Can I join you?" Melanie looked at the stranger and was unable to discern his features fully due to the sun's position. He had a gruff voice and a sunhat on, maybe? It was difficult to tell. She didn't want him to sit next to her but she found herself acquiescing nonetheless.

Alice through the Looking Glass
Some violence The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. Which wasn't surprising as I wasn't there. Neither in front of the mirror nor reflected in it. No, I was long gone from there. Although, once, that mirror captured all of me. My very essence, you could say. And it still does as my killer stands before it, gazing at her image through scattered drops of my blood, red dots like plague decorating her face as she takes her weapon of choice, today a bowie knife and lovingly caresses her face with its blade, whilst gazing with some desire and passion into her own eyes as she performs this macabre ritual.

The Cost of the Win - brain deterioration in sport
This weekend sees the start of the Six Nations Rugby Championship and I am viewing it with mixed feelings. For those of you not in the know, let me explain what the Six Nations is. It is a competition between six rugby playing nations comprising of England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and my homeland, Wales. All teams compete against each other over the space of a couple of months and their results are entered into a table according to a point system. The team with most points is crowned the victor. If they have won all of their games, they win the Grandslam, a highly coveted accolade. If they come bottom, they effectively win the "Wooden Spoon", a figurative title rather than an actual trophy.
