Everything Burned
Flash fiction written in the aftermath of the Brexit vote in 2016. I will never not be cross about what happened that year.
The EU referendum and the absolute carnage it has created in the UK has been on everyone’s minds. It’s impossible to escape.
I’ve wanted to write about the situation, but found it very difficult to articulate how I feel. I’m just so angry, dumbfounded that a group of incompetent politicians, born into wealth and blinded by ego, have waltzed our country into so much economic uncertainty. It’s truly unforgivable.
There are so many blog posts and opinion pieces on what has happened. So instead I’ve written a story.
I published it in the latest issue of Shelflife – my weekly newsletter.
You can read it here too.
