Short Stories
Waiting
| The clock is ten minutes fast. It always has been but Clare never changes it. It’s best to have things done too early than too late. Everything is in order. The children’s faces are shiny and pink. She washes their faces and hands every day at 5.45 p.m. Except Sunday of course. Seán doesn’t work on Sundays.She picks up their hands in turn, inspecting them. She notices the nails. The pinkness of them. She runs her fingers over them. Smooth and rounded at the top. They are her hands. Turning them, she smiles at the palms, small and fleshy. She burrows her nose into the folds and breathes… |
A Tale Of Two Cauliflowers
(a true story)… My mother loves a bargain. She loves it the way people love a good book. Or a great glass of red wine. Or both of those things, at the same time, which happens to be my personal favourite. Gerry Maguire said he was ‘good in the livingroom.’ My mother is ‘super in the supermarket.’ Why buy one red pepper when you can…
The Big Woman
In Ireland, we wake our dead. We bring them home. We put them in the ‘good room.’ They lie in a coffin that is not yet closed. We talk to them. Touch their faces. Tell stories about them. Drink toasts to them. Cry for them. Cry for ourselves. There’s singing. There’s always singing. And praying. Decades of the rosary. Lines of Hail Marys. The four Mysteries; Luminous, Joyful. Glorious. Sorrowful. The dead are never alone during this vigil. It is…
The best Valentine’s Day EVER!!
The best Valentine’s Day happened a long time ago. As far back as 1982 in fact. And it’s been downhill from there. I was 12 years old and I loved a boy in my class. Handily enough, he loved me right back. I put this down to the fact that his mother was German, thus differentiating him from the other boys in my class who sniggered at that word, love, preferring instead to push and pinch the girls they disliked the least. I kissed him at a party once. A birthday party where the children were given…
The Smallest Elf
| You know the way grown-ups always ask you what you want to be when you grow up? Well, I never had any problem answering that question. Because I always knew. I never had any doubts. I wanted to work for Father Christmas. In the workshop. You know the one. Where the Christmas toys are made. Even before I did my Elementary Elf exams – I passed them all! – mama says that I did nothing but talk about being one of Santa’s Elves. She says I dressed up like them, using green leaves that I found in the Fairy Fort at the bottom of our garden. Making… |  |
The Stranger
IT HAPPENS in the confectionary aisle. There I am, dangling a fat bag of chocolate doughnuts over my basket. I’m fighting it, but feel my resolve stumble, my grip loosen, my arm lower, when I hear the voice. Maurice’s voice. I drop the bag like it’s on fire and pull the brim of my hat down around my face. For a moment, I do nothing. The voice is fainter now and I think he might be in aisle four. The frozen-food section…
