Hello!

I have a story out in @JellyfishReview, which is a dream come true. (👈🏼I'm not a poet and I know it.)

This is the first thing I've published that's more than just words. I'm proud of it and I'd love for you to read it, which you can do here -

We knew it wouldn't work out when you told me you can see a person's whole backstory and future by looking into their eyes.

"It's my superpower," you said.

"Colours evoke feelings in me," I said. "That's my superpower.

Then our eyes met. Yours were blue. So were mine.

@JennyGaitskell Thanks Jenny!

I wanted to reboot my wardrobe.

I found a switch and flicked it off then on.

Then I realised...

That wasn't my wardrobe.

That was The Universe.

Now I'm alone at the beginning of time, waiting for this shirt from 2003 to come into style 13.7 billion years from now.

@TheSurrealAri @voimaoy 😆It's all cyclical.

@JDMontgomery_ @BulbCultCo Hi James! Hopefully this year will bring at least some words!

[Neil Clark @NeilRClark]

I've not been writing much for a while now. The break's been nice, but I want to get back writing soon.

For now, here's a selection of stuff I wrote when I was in my micro-writing pomp in 2018/19. Thanks @BulbCultCo for giving these a second home today -

I worked in a warehouse with a man who dropped boxes.

"This universe is in a box I didn't handle with care," he told me. "The stars are the shards inside."

Often, I wonder how he's doing.

I opened a package today. Constellations fell out.

He's still doing God's work.

@WritingDani @MolotovLitZine Thank you Danielle!

[Neil Clark @NeilRClark]

If you fancy reading a Halloween horror flash about a dead man climbing onto a boat, here's one I wrote in 2019. This was the first and only time I won a writing contest, which was very cool, thanks @MolotovLitZine!

You can read 'Dead Man from the Ocean Floor' here ⬇️⬇️⬇️
