    About this ebook

    Artist Cyra O'Grady is very pleased with her life, one might almost say smug, until that fateful day when a dumper truck, complete with idiot driving it, demolishes part of her new extension.
    Cyra's efforts to interest the police, fire service and council come to naught in a fog of incompetence and bureaucracy.
    Cyra is distraught until she thinks of her friends. Surely they will rally round to help her in this time of crisis. Won't they?

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      A taste of LA DOLCE VITA

      Mar 5, 2020

      I was surprised when my mum agreed to go on a wine-tasting tour, given that the last time she saw me order a double G&T, she was compelled to remind me of the perils of binge drinking. ‘When in Rome,’ she says, sloshing back a Bardolino. We are actua

      Soul On Sale

      I was waiting for the call at the telephone booth. I’d been waiting for fourteen or seventeen minutes and finally, I decided to leave. It was pointless. I only had a 20-dollar bill on me and no coins for the slot. Hard rain was coming, some type of s
