About Me

Welcome to my Blog. I set this up after realising I spend far too much time updating my Facebook status and living in hope that one day a celeb will reply to one of my Tweets. So if you like reality TV, makeup, short story ideas, magazines, chocolate and the occasional gym class, then this is the blog for you. Now get that tea brewing, grab a couple of digestives and let yourself escape into my world...you never know, you might like it here!

Thought of the day...

"The best time for new beginnings is now..."

The Coffin

Another 99 word snippet for you to enjoy....


The wooden box lay cold in the ground. A tall, slim lady with short blonde hair, wearing a classic black shift dress and killer heels, stood alone staring motionless below her.  The rose she was clutching complimented her full lips and nails, as the netting from her hat covered the sunglasses framing her face.  

Throwing the flower onto the coffin, she blew a kiss before walking away. Her bottom lip trembled as a sly grin unmasked the pain forged onto her face. 

Deep in the ground, locked in the coffin, was a body frantically screaming to get out.
