Nine: In Which Edith Eats Lunch and Meets an Ostrich


The sunlight was cool and yellow in the early afternoon. It dappled across buttercups and clover, accommodated calmly by the turf of the glade. A ladybird settled on Edith's shoulder, its presence undemanding. Edith ate her sandwiches.
The rocking-chair was patient. It harboured an Ostrich. The Ostrich was doing an old crossword. Edith sniffled.

  1. Lovely, this i really like. Why don't you send it to some publishing company when it's finished?

  2. Thank you I'm really glad you like it!! I don't know if it'll ever be finished though, maybe when I'm 35 or something.

    Totally 100% planning on coming to Stockholm this summer btw, if that's okay with you. Not like last time when we didn't come, this time we totally definitely are.

  3. Is there a page missing here? I only see one but there's transcript for two.

    I'm loving this story as I'm reading it; I don't want to miss a thing.

  4. Ah, that's annoying, I must've accidentally deleted the second picture when I was adding the transcripts. I'll put it back now. Thanks for the heads up (and for reading)!
