Boxing-day Stories

A girl dreams of a lost chicken who returns home in this allegorical short story.

Hayden Smith is just a girl who wants good grades and keeps herself to herself whilst all the rest of the school bullies her. But what happens when Mr Peterson walks into her life and introduces her to a whole new world. Even better what happens when the world is a world that is only in her favorite films off all time. Join the heartbreak, betrayal, chasing and possibly love in 'The Nerd' (Trailer Inside)

A poem inspired by the floods that occurred in the sleepy West Yorkshire town of Sowerby Bridge, where I've lived for 16 years. They were the worst floods since 1968 and happened on Boxing Day 2015. This poems about the devastation they caused and the strength of the local community uniting to help clear up the destruction caused by the wild waters of the canals and River Calder!
