June 13, 2026
As the new filtered through the internet it exploded with conspiracy theories, such as - 'Russell T. Davies left before he was pushed', 'RTD lied to everyone', 'RTD totally lied about the script he'd written for the Christmas special', 'RTD made it woke so nobody watched it anymore'

Good Riddance
June 9, 2026
This is another horror story written for one of the BA assignments. It's a little naive in its execution but I enjoyed the experience and especially the editing process.

The Day My World Changed Forever
June 7, 2026
I wrote this poem to my boyfriend Mikey a couple of months after we began chatting on Facebook dating (is that still a thing in 2026?). It must have felt right back then because we're still together three years later, with two cats and a barmy labrador between us. I wouldn't change a thing.

Journey
June 6, 2026
I took a tentative step out of the portal, it was instantaneous, as though moving from one room to another, but I knew I’d travelled countless light years. It was what I’d worked on for years, a theory that had proven true, not that gloating about it would do me any good now. There wasn’t anyone left to gloat to.

Recipe For Love
June 6, 2026
Frank stared over at the large Victorian house from his car. He’d been casing the Vanguard’s home for weeks. Marking their daily habits in his, rather worn, notebook. Richard Vanguard had been one of Frank’s clients at the bank, until Frank had been fired and placed under investigation for fraud. Frank hadn’t told his wife, Juliette, she was unaware the money had stopped coming in and his accounts had been frozen. He knew she’d leave him once she knew he was worthless.
