@cbcreative @jess_emolloy The air was thick and it stuck to the back of her throat. She blinked at the tube, the viscous liquid dripping its way into her hand and the screech of tyres tugged her free arm up to an ear.
“Where are-?” She tried to sit.
A hand on hers as machines continued to beep. #WriteCBC
@cbcreative @JonnyGeller Feet; sturdy, dependable, perfectly placed to feel the path ahead. Except when they are not, which is most of the time these days. Wretched things.
I glance down, my brain registering the awkward angle a moment before the familiar searing pain penetrates my senses. #WriteCBC
@cbcreative@arrroberts ‘He beat me, no fair! He’s faster, I’m desperate.’ Lucy hops on one foot.
‘We must learn to take turns.’ I look across my pristine lawn.
A click - a foot on the pad - door springs open, he springs out, tail wagging.
Lucy rushes past him.
‘Gross! He didn’t flush!’ #Writecbc
@cbcreative@StephT2000 … on the deserted platform; air thick with fumes. I fought to catch my breath as footsteps drifted down the stairwell behind me. The setting sun was losing its fight against the gloom, and then he was there. Hand outstretched towards my bag.
‘Ready to go?’ he smiled. #WriteCBC

@cbcreative The next wave takes me under; my palm raw, scraping for a handhold on the rocks. I emerge from the cave, vision blurred with salt. Sunlight after darkness. She scrambles higher. I fight to keep up.
‘Another year clear,’ she yells as she launches herself in to the water. #writeCBC
@cbcreative@EmiliaHartBooks A limb reaches out to meet mine through skin as echoed cries in the corridor remind me. Memories crafted from phone footage; grasping gloved fingers tugging at my damp flesh; her warm, soft calls - known; eyes drinking me in. The room pulsating with love, anticipation.
