Eli’s journey (Fiction)

Here’s an experimental short story I knocked up on my morning train journey to work over the past two weeks.

The Life of Charlie Norman: “Lunch break”

11:50am.

Charlie treated himself to an early lunch. After all, the morning had been hectic. More meetings than he could count, or cared to remember, and non-stop phone calls. He was exhausted.

The Life of Charlie Norman: “Hastiness”

Sunday morning.

It was a ritual Charlie didn’t mind.

Ginny’s parents visited every second weekend. Ginny and her mother Pearl would cook lunch together, while Charlie and Alf awkwardly lingered.
