After a family tragedy, young David decides to live by himself in his home where he can be his true self, Katie. It's almost like a dream as Katie explores her new life.

But it's not easy. Where will she get money? How can an eleven-year-old deal with something as mundane as shopping when at any moment some adult may decide she needs help from police, doctors, teachers or lawyers?

It's lonely, too. Katie needs a friend, but who can she trust with her secret? That she's just a child living in her home, alone?

I was soon to find out…

A Christmas Wish

As I walked home from school, I rubbed my ribs. David Barnes had kicked me there just outside the school gates.
He often waited for me before school and took my dinner money from me when he knew that no one could see him do the dirty deed.

A New Life ~ 3

Something woke me up.
It was almost pitch dark except for a faint glow coming from the port hole. I heard faint engine sounds and felt a slight vibration beneath me. The ship was moving gently, almost imperceptively under me.
I had no idea what had woken me up, but there was something that was bothering me, but I could not put my finger on it.

We Shall Fight On The Beaches...12 ~ Final Chapter

I woke up. It was gloomy almost dark with just the bedside lamp on. I was in Nan’s bed for some reason. I looked over to the corner. She was there, fast asleep, a book on her lap, looking peaceful.

Football Girl~Season 3~Chapter 1

The rain was coming down in sheets. I could barely see the other side of the pitch. The pitch? That was a laugh; it was an incredibly muddy quagmire with next to no grass down the middle. I had played on better surfaces at the local park.The rain was coming down in sheets. I could barely see the other side of the pitch. The pitch?

I screeched to a stop, the engine running.

My heart was in my mouth.

There, in front of us were no less than three police cars, a police van and an ambulance.

Amelia was sitting in the corner, rocking herself and crying. I went over and sat beside her and gave her a hug…

I woke up screaming and crying my eyes out.

Before I knew it, I was being hugged.

Even before I opened my eyes, I knew that it was my mother hugging me. She had that lovely ‘Mum’ smell, a trace of perfume and that indefinable trace of something else that was unique to Mum.

‘What is it honey?’

I pulled myself together, just a bit.

Just then, a mobile started ringing.

We both looked around. On the bedside cabinet, my burner phone was ringing and vibrating.

I stood up and went over to it.
