This vivid collection of interweaving short stories explores the lives of those on the edge of society in a bleak portrayal of urban life in Birmingham. Based around the circular Number 11 bus route, which is the longest urban bus route in Europe, each story focuses on a journey from a different perspective of the city's hidden underclass - those on the outer circle of society on a tense day in August 2011.

"𝐎𝐡, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐲 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬." ( oc x oc ) 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐀 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 - the youngest Shelby sister was the only sibling that you could look at and say "no, she isn't related to those Shelby bastards." Although she shared the same brunette locks as her sister Ada and the same blue eyes as her brother Tommy, she did not share the same attitudes. Francesca was an anxious girl. And that only worsened when her brothers left for war. Her second eldest brother, Tommy, was a God in her eyes. She idolised him. Why? Nobody knew. But there was something about him. And for her.. Tommy loved her like she was his own daughter. They had a bond not even the strongest of men could destroy. They were cut from the same cloth. 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐑, - Francesca finds that her closest and only friend, George, a boy who came from the richer side of Birmingham, had returned from the countryside. He was the type of boy all the girls would fawn over. Golden hair and blue eyes. Except, he didn't care for any of them. He cared for his best friend: Francesca Shelby. Or - Frances, as he called her. He was her only friend. Being older and, well, liked by most, he found it was his duty to look after her during such a hostile time. But they seemed to be blind to the fact that they were more than friends. In some way, they were more. They didn't know it but everybody else did.
The House in Wicklow
What could go wrong when a young woman starts experiencing other people's emotions in her dreams? What happens when a man wakes up every morning haunted by the same memory? Can a ticket to a cello concerto turn someone's life upside down? In this collection of seven short stories, I explores what makes us... us. Is it what we show? What we hide? Or rather our perceptions, fears and hopes? And each story enters the world of a unique character. Especially the last one, the House in Wicklow were we merge with fantastic and psycho thriller. In addition if you travel to Dublin or the Wicklow mountains, you may enjoy retracing some of the characters steps.

Beyond Goodbye | #ONC2023
My superpower is invisibility. Not by choice. It's the only way I know how to be. Until the cute guy on the bus shows me how to fly, but there's a catch. And it has nothing to do with me being the one who can see him. But sometimes falling feels a lot like flying. And I don't know if I'm ready for either. Prompt 20: You finally build enough courage to talk to that cute someone you see every day on the bus. Their face turns dark as they respond "You shouldn't be able to see me."Complete
