Thrilled & surprised! Thanks so much @cbcreative.bsky.social and @jessicabull.bsky.social. I was lucky enough to receive a free ticket to CBC's brilliant creative writing masterclass with Abi Daré as part of last month's New Writers' Day. CBC's committment to nurturing new voices is so encouraging 🙏🏽

He collects objects like I collect souls. Dust mars our hallowed common ground so the footprints are easy to follow, coming to a halt by a door signed ‘Archives’. Already cool for preservation, he doesn’t notice the chill of my presence until it’s too late. Scythes of light illuminate my acquisition

His gaze was easy to meet but harder to hold.

“When? Didn’t you tell her I’d come?”
His eyes are harder now.
“Yes. She didn’t care.”
No. Because I do. #WriteCBC
