Dribbles and Drabbles -


VOLUPTUOUS

  

Matilda Victoria Fleming, hurt by ridicule and body shaming, dried her eyes and resolved to fight back.

She checked herself in the mirror and decided voluptuous a kinder description.

Then she grabbed a wad of tissues and stuffed them inside her bra.

She was now Voluptuous Vicky not Titless Tilly.

MAYDE BYRON TURNER

 

Yes, you pronounce my name Made.

Yes, it is unusual.

That was down to my mum. Finding herself childless at forty-five and wanting a baby she decided to find a sperm donor. Which she did; Ron Turner.

Her dad, my grandad, was unhappy about that. His biggest concern being that his grandchild would have no idea of its heritage.

But my mum went ahead and conceived a daughter; me.

After my birth she thought about grandad’s concerns and decided that my name would need to reflect some knowledge of my father.

And that is why I’m called Mayde Byron Turner.

FOUL PLAY

The bloodied sequin

Tangled in the victim’s hair

Proved it was murder
