A Timely Warning

A true story by Frances Edington Do you have a guardian angel? I do, and I know I do through experience. Let me tell you about one such experience. Many years ago, I spent a couple of winters living in a community high in the Catskills of Upstate New York. My assigned duties sometimes took me into the city, as on the morning in question. My appointment was early, which meant I had to leave soon after five, so I booked a car and collected the keys before I went to bed. During the night, temperatures plummeted, as I realised when I went out to collect the car early next morning. The ground was icy so I walked with care; even so my feet suddenly slid from under me and I fell heavily on my right wrist. I staggered to the car and sat in the driver’s seat, leaning forward over the steering wheel until I recovered from the pain and shock. At that hour the car park was deserted but as I sat, I saw a woman come out of the building; almost immediately she slipped and fell. I then bec

When your husband ...

By Linda S. Gunther When you ask your husband to send you a test email on your cell phone to make sure your email is working and you receive the email and you open it which you assume will say “TEST” and instead it says “I LOVE YOU” and your heart melts and you feel guilty because you were in a sour mood and wham it hits you that after all these years the guy still loves you and the very next evening when you’re sitting in a restaurant having dinner and the nice couple at the adjacent table starts chatting and asks you what you do for a living and you confess that you’re a writer which is hard for you to even believe but it’s the truth and your husband tells the couple that he doesn’t read books in fact almost never but he’s read many of your stories and he tells them that they are really good actually great and you feel warm and fuzzy almost in disbelief to hear him utter those words to people he does not know as he’s quite shy especially with strangers and then three da

What the Cleaner Saw.

Carol pulled on her rubber gloves with a snap, smoothed down her smock over her soft child- bearing belly and tucked a wayward grey strand of hair behind a multi pierced ear. She could hear the undulating voice of Bex on zoom call in her office floating down the stairs. Bex pretty much left her alone to get on with it which suited Carol fine. She found bosses who chatted and maintained they were ‘friends with the help,’ trying. Carol always worked quickly and to high standard in all the houses she cleaned, polishing, vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms, stoves, mopping floors wiping out cupboards and ironing. The only time she paused, was to gaze at the photos of people sealed behind glass, trapped in a moment in time. Lives on show. Carol reckoned she could tell a lot about the families she cleaned for, from their photos. Bex was married to Max. Carol knew this because the wedding day was displayed in a glorious huge gold frame hanging in the entrance way. They had six attendan

Vanish

by Liz Tait I feel the heat of panic before I see her. Running like she’d spent her life avoiding it in sandals made for sauntering, not sprinting. “ Two boys – my grandchildren - blonde – have you seen them? Five and three”? Oh God. Sheer terror, up close, her hand grips my arm. “ No, not that I….”. “ Told them not to move! I’m checking the toilets!” She was off, clutching her chest, before her sandals were ready, losing one briefly through a crack in the boardwalk. Her life changing ominously by the second. “ I’ll look out for them!” My planned tea and cake in the café now feeling somewhat frivolous. I see her clutch other strangers, dragging them into the unfolding dark of her day. Strewn like fallen skittles in her wake. I shade my eyes to look out over the beach, heavily dotted with stripey towels, strewn paddleboards and laughing children. I am aware of a feeling. It is relief. Because this was me, this thing was exactly me, yesterday. We were her
