The latest issue of Roomers magazine is out now.
Roomers #65 | Summer 2018 | That Was Then, This Is Now.
Includes The Searing, a short story by me.
He pulls on swimming trunks, a loose shirt. His towel he grabs from the side of the bath, keys from the hallway, and he walks the five minutes to the sea wall. He’s nearly alone down there, it’s just gulls, two dogwalkers, a couple of noisy teenaged skinnydippers after an all-nighter. Prompted by their brazenness he also strips completely, spreads the towel along the base of the wall and lies.

I loved your story ‘The Searing’, Barry. You do a mean line in ‘coffee’ writing too.
Thanks for reading the story, Margaret.
I do enjoy a bit of coffee writing.
Love the Then and Now contrasts Barry. Some beautiful images in such a short piece of fiction.
Thanks for reading the story, Helen.
