Stays Up Past Midnight Raking The Drive

by Jo Horsman

Oh, for Christ’s sake - just leave her to it – she’ll get bored. Tired – hopefully!

Marilyn spends all bloody day doing unnecessary things before moving into the night.

Yes, raking the driveway. No, it didn’t have gravel before. That came yesterday.

You’re welcome to try. She’s armed with that thing.

Jo Horsman writes about people doing their own normal things. She's been published in Litro, Tales of The Decongested, Leaf Books.

I just love that.

By way of introduction

Welcome to The Pygmy Giant.
Make yourself at home.
You might think of this as an e-magazine, a Forum, a poetry slam, or a sticky table in the corner of a dingy pub.

Whichever you prefer, this is a place for British flash fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and pretty much anything else under 800 words. Giant works of literature in their concise clothing.

Why just British stuff? Because flash fiction on the web is dominated by our American cousins, and while that's not a terrible thing, we'd like to hear some of the small and powerful voices of Blighty. So read, enjoy, leave some (polite) feedback for the writers, and send us your stuff!
