WhatWhyHow???

This year, I set myself the foolish task of trying to write something every day, and what you see here is the result. None of this is finished, polished, or in any way good. It's usually a few lines at the end of the day when I'm tired, my head's broken, and this nonsense spills out of it onto the page. Feel free to comment away, and if you think anything has any potential then let me know and I might have a go at working on it further.

But hang on, where's the first month? You've ripped us off! I hear you say... Well, yes. I have been writing since the beginning of January, but it's taken me a while to get the blog up, so everything here is a month old.

The visitor

The lights are on but no-one's home
I knock but the cat's just there alone
Pawing at the window pane
Going round the curtain again and again.

I try the phone and hear it ring
From the inside it comes echoing
But no-one picks it from the base
There is no human in this place.

The car is missing from the drive
And there's no-on in at number 5
Maybe they're all at the shops
Or on their hols in their flip-flops.

And so I let myself on in
Trying not to upset anything
I pocket some jewels and a nice antique
Then quick back out the door I sneak.
