    Libby: Sound Waves.
    A real slice of life. Beautifully portrayed, the violent action all at a distance and the thoughts of the protagonist so quiet so mundane that we just know a bomb is going to explode into the story.

    Sandra: Another fairy tale.
    Ah, becoming an adult. I’m so glad I’m not the only one still waiting for that Corinthians moment when I put aside childish things. Yes, that’s exactly how it is.

    Barny: This might be the day.
    A triumph of descriptive writing with the succession of warmed and illuminated body parts matching the non-arrival of non-existent good news. Who’s going to feed Bill?

    Seagreen: THAT BIT BETWEEN WHITEKIRK AND TYNINGHAME, NEAR TO BINNING WOOD
    A micro-portrait of an unknown lady who I could not help reading in the somewhat proper brogue of East Lothian. Loved it. And Sandra was is it.

    This is tough. I genuinely enjoyed all of these and on a different day, I might decide differently. Well done Libby.

    • Thank you @athelstone. I enjoyed writing to the theme. The other entries were so good I’m very chuffed to have won.
      I’ll go away and think of a theme for July.
