They were only animals left feasting. Rotten corporate leftovers spilling from city bins. Trees, ancestors of the paper bags bearing that fast food insignia wept for the goodness gone. His back peeled with the sunburn always refusing the mother’s caution. At the beach, swimming among detritus laughingly splashing the world’s waste. Smoke pouring all the…

Creative Writing – 8th March 2016
I am proud to present the writers of UEA writing on: Pride. Such a word has so many weighty connotations, be they political, social or purely linguistic. Pride in oneself is one of the seven deadly sins and a trait frowned upon by some as the shadow of vanity and arrogance. It can also be…

Creative Writing – 23rd February
For this issue I got you all writing about secrets. Everybody has them, nobody keeps them. Perhaps you have one. Perhaps you are keeping one. Perhaps people are keeping one from you.
