CHAPTER 15
I had indeed been squeaky new when I had met Hira, just settling in at the Cardiff hub as I was. I had realised early on in my training that while I was competent at driving the big box of an ambulance, I didn’t have the spatial awareness of someone like Tom, who seemed almost to wear the vehicle like a second skin. My forte was that of an advanced nurse practitioner, with extra trauma skills, so I concentrated on those aspects. It meant a lot of mixing and matching crews for a long time, but eventually Tom and I gelled.

It had been a wet and cold summer my sister April and I had been
cooped up indoors nearly every day and we were getting bored. April
said Danny have you seen these films on YouTube, I said which ones are
you talking about. April said these and she showed me it was a short

Only he can use the key, as it should be, I hasten to add.

and Dad had moved to the Lounge to watch TV while their dishwashers
cleaned up after the meal.

The Ghost of Tomorrow

Foreword

I’m a trans woman who came late to the realization that I was a
woman, due to a number of factors—not the least being that society’s
views towards trans people at the time I was growing up were so warped
and divorced from reality that I had absolutely no context for what
transition actually was. So it took until Covid-19 forced all of us
indoors with nothing but our thoughts and social media for me to finally

Paper Girl

The Paper Moon Theatre was famous for making impossible things out of cardboard.

Its swords were cardboard. Its crowns were cardboard. Its castles were cardboard, painted silver and gold and blue, folded flat after every show and stacked behind the curtain like sleeping kingdoms.

The wigs were paper. The flowers were paper.

“Oh, good morning! We were…”

Her voice dropped to a whisper.

“Are you okay? Way you left, some of us were wondering if you’d be back”

“Well, I am. Or at least, most of me”

Scott confronts Bethany after her lies cost him everything. Now, he is going to everything from her.

I lived alone with my Mother as my Father had
died a few years ago. We were going to visit my aunt,
my Mothers sister who lived a two hour drive away.
My aunt had two daughters and their father was away
working in Saudi. We started out straight after
breakfast, we were about three quarters of the way
tas far as when the car stopped. We had no mobile signal
so we had to walk to find a phone to get a garage out
to find out what was wrong with the car.
Mother said we had passed a village about two
