PROSE

____________________

 

Daniel Cox. "The Spot." 

Thank god a fly was buzzing around the tin ceiling of the barber shop, flirting with death in the spinning fan blades. I needed something to distract me from what Pedro was doing. Or not doing.

 

Elizabeth Foreman. "Camelot: A Place of Fancy and VD."

A chubby, tattooed college girl shook her boobs for about 10 old men.  Technology and class all rolled into one; surely this was the paradise of King Arthur.
    

 

Michael Fowler. "The Nouveau Shelter for the Rich."

Every year or so I and about 12 other extremely wealthy citizens check into Jacques Nouveau’s Shelter for the Rich for a couple of weeks just to get away from all the damn money for a while.

 

Iain Maloney. "Bobbin Monologue."

So there I was just the other day, sitting in the Bobbin over a quiet pint with Dan, the funny one you'll remember.

 

Rob. "Just Sex." ADULT

I'm screwing Joe's wife. On her kitchen table. She's howling, the table legs are creaking, my arse is going ninety to the dozen. We do this twice a week. It's just sex, nothing serious.
