Another tale from the dark side of my mind. It started with the opening image of twisting away from a bullet hitting the wall, and just spiralled out from there. This is the result of two read throughs and edits ... the hardest bit for me was the ending, so I'll be interested to find out if people think it worked.

Woodwork is a brief tale that I came up with as a writing exercise in 'flash fiction' i.e. write it straight through with minimal editing. I've tidied it up a bit more since finishing, cleaning up the sentences that stood out as clunkers to me. Click the links below to take a look:

This started life as a small whimsical email, and I quite liked where it went. So a few weeks later I took the original email, and expanded it to become more of a tale. Then over the course of a day or so I tweaked it, and then declared it done. Available in rich text and as a PDF below.
