Contest Winner

I am a winner! Have a look here. I beat four other people. I feel like Hulk Hogan.

I also got an email today from Twelve Stories. I had sent them a couple of flash fiction pieces that, to be honest weren't very good. One was homework from Creative Writing and I think I knocked the other out in about half an hour. Surprisingly they didn't want them... OH WELL!

But I did help save a patient from chocking to death on a ham sandwich at work.

Ups and downs, ups and downs.

Erika

I have this typewriter that I bought second hand for £15 in a shop in Brighton.

The name of the typewriter is 'Erika.' It's printed on the front.

When I bought it the man behind the counter said to his colleague, 'my new girlfriend is called Erica, but with a C.'

I laughed and said 'did you pay £15 for her second hand?'

He didn't make eye contact with me after that.
