18 - Buried
18 - Buried I love how the sand feels on my feet. It’s different to any other texture and its rare that I get to feel it sinking into my toes. We were heading to the beach, or that’s what I assumed anyway. The window was rolled down along the coastline and I could feel the sea breeze blowing my eyes and hair back, taken aback by its power.

15 - Hidden
15 - Hidden The room is cramped but liveable. The ceiling slopes down and when I stand sometimes, I forget and bash my head. I forget how tall I am, or more likely, it’s a small room. A small, circled window sits just above my stomach when I stand. To catch a glimpse of light, I must bend my body in half, my back twisted to see the world outside, not that anything is particularly interesting out there, especially in the Winter months. In Winter, like it is now, I would rather be tucked up inside. It may not be the hottest in here but like I say, its liveable.

14 - Meeting
14 - Meeting Waiting around is one of the worst feelings a human can feel. Waiting for anything, a bus, a train and more annoyingly a friend that’s running late that never bothers to update you. The worst of these possibilities is wanting for a meeting where you don’t know where you are, you have no idea who anyone around you is and they don’t know you. You are just sat in an un comfy chair usually made from hard plastic giving no back support wondering if you are even in the right place at all.

13 - END
13 - END They say everyone has a story inside of them. One good book. That seems more than one billion stories could be written. Not all are good though, to be seen in a school of fish all wanting attention is the difficult part, wanting yours to stand out among the rest.

5 - Misplace
5 – Misplace The clouds were gathering but it was neither warm nor chilly, just pleasant outside with a slight breeze in the air. As it was Autumn, most of the leaves were missing leaves, they just lay in the ground to be crumpled up. It had turned 5pm and the sun was just setting, crowds of children appeared from nearby streets disturbing leaves as they rushed on by.

4 - Flesh
4- Flesh It was all I wanted for my entire life, staring at perfect skin flashing on television, dazzling around. Every time I was given pocket money spending it not on sweets or confectionary but magazines, the models dressed head to toe in designer brands, their skin as perfect as babies. I knew everything was fake and that’s just what I loved about it but something inside me didn’t want to just settle for only looking good in photographs, I wanted the change to last forever.

3 ROT
3 - ROT All my life I had been waiting for this moment and today was finally the day for everything to happen. I’d always been a foodie for as long as I could remember, nibbling on cakes and treats. I’d always wanted to cook for people, share my recipes with the world. First came my family who I would cook for ever night as my single mother who worked nights always came home late, because of this I always made a meal for her as she finished.
