Stay
I knew he knew. I started having trouble accessing the Dream. The machine thought I'd exited the dream early more than once, so it decided I didn't like that one. Fucking algorithms.

Goodbye, Dreamboat
Last week, I tried my wife's DreamFix machine again. I'm not sure why. To reassure myself? Surely it would be a different man in her dreams each time. Someone good-looking, but random. No threat.

DreamFix-1000
She woke me up again last night. I don't get it. When you can choose your dreams, why choose bad ones? I reached for her, and she didn't say, I'm sleepy, or anything like that. She didn't stiffen.

Too Many Mississippis
Standing in the dark outside the house, I watched something in him wither and die. He doesn't believe me, I thought. My son doesn't believe me.

Just One Hug
God it felt good to be so close to him. The smell of him, the warmth. What I'd resisted so long. Was that why it was so good? Because I'd held back? My lips so close to his neck, I ached to kiss him. I didn't. Just a hug, I told myself. Just one. That's OK, right?

And The Winner Is... (Fucked Up Fairytales Unofficial Challenge)
Judging for this challenge closed last night, Sunday 23rd June at 11.59PM (GMT). The scoring was really simple: I asked everyone to vote for their favourites of the five finalists, giving 3 points to their favourite, 2 points to their second favourite, and 1 point to their third favourite.

Sleepless in Suburbs
He can't sleep. He's only come up to bed because his mother prompted him to. You have work tomorrow. He's almost eighteen and she's still... well... mothering him. It's nearly midnight. You're still a growing lad.

I Wondered if I'd Meet You One Day
The woman came running into the shop, a wild look in her eyes. "There's a baby!" she said. Everyone looked at her, polite and confused, while their brains caught up with this odd turn of events.

Boundaries
I called Joe again yesterday while Adam was out with his mates. Joe's girlfriend answered. The prickly way Evie spoke told me she wasn't happy about me calling. I don't care. Adam and I have a son together. (Callum's four.) She can't stop us talking.

The Fall Guy
Swimming costumes, spicy margaritas, and bad decisions. If you know me, you know I don't like romcoms. I'm not a very big fan of romance at all, really. I'm not a fan of Ryan Gosling, either. (Or at least, I wasn't... that has now changed.) No offence to the guy, I'm sure he's smashing. I just thought (probably unfairly, to be honest) "he's that guy who does romcoms". (He stole the show in Barbie, though.)

Jerry's Tale. Content Warning.
It's like swimming at the bottom of a muddy lake. I can't think can't think can't think- They say I can have a phone call. I don't respond. They think I'm being rude. I'm not. I'm just trying to think.

The 3AM Challenge - The One That Got Away
This was an absolute belter of a challenge, and I can't believe that I have been so busy with other commitments that I couldn't engage more with it.
