Trigger Fingers The ball falls from his hand and hits the ground with a disembodied thud, bringing all eyes upon them. At first they stare without recognition of what they are staring at, as processes fall and fumble within their decaying minds, then suddenly they surge forward as one. Corey casts a final fevered glance…

We See It Be Declan drops the blade and stares quietly towards Alex as the red stain continues to grow across his once brightly coloured shirt like a child playing hide and seek, peeking out every few moments to see where everyone is. Alex looks at his brother with an ever-widening gaze, as if words…

Boastful Bliss “You can’t tell me that, then expect to just walk away without some sort of recourse! If you didn’t want a response, why tell me?” she says as she throws her hands into the air and stares at him with a frustrated gaze. His mouth trembles as a small sea of sweat cascades…

The Taxman “The taxman started it, so I finished it. There isn’t any more to the story.” Shawn says proudly, crossing his arms before him, and nodding his head in recognition of his own words. Keith rolls his eyes and lets out a stuttered sigh as he leans forward and begins taping the desk with…
