OUR PENNILESS WRITE

Contributors   About   

We aim to foster experimentation in writing. We believe traditional structures of writing can be restrictive and we encourage those who do not adhere to the tried, tested and, therefore, validated conventions of literature and art writing. We want to experience new writing without relying on our preconceptions and expectations of established genres. There are no deadlines for submissions. The only criteria is that submissions be under 3,000 words (or up to 10 images for visual essays). Submissions can be sent to ourpennilesswrite@gmail.com

    "31st October"
    By David Flood

    Batman wipin’ shite aff his shoe.
    Batman staggering after his pal, aw upset, ‘Where ye gawin?’
    Wonder Woman crying, alone in a bus stop.

    The Muppets n a banana are all Rangers fans.
    They know the words to all the songs.
    Neil Lennon and a priest are knocked back from a club.
    Total outrage.

    A lonely pimp chases his hat down Hope St.

    Amy Winehouse is upset at her Top Gun boyfriend.
    Stage left: Sylvester Cat and Tinkerbell are laughing at them.
    Working his arm free of his fair lover,
    Sylvester pounces on a young Elmo. Tickling him as per.
    Elmo freaks. Obviously not on the clock. And does a bolt.

    Easily outpacing the Cat, ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage cheers ‘EL-MO!’
    And slices by with a high five.
    The Macho Man then proffers a double thumbs up to Beetlejuice and his lesbian nurse girlfriend.

    Batman’s girlfriend is fucking screaming at him.
    The Dark Knight is making ‘ugh’ noises and swinging his arms about.
    No giein’ a fuck.
    The Worlds Greatest Detective bellows to the crowds, ‘EMDY SEEN THE JOKER?’

    Luigi and an unidentified blonde man
    (Maybe Fred from Scooby Doo.)
    Carry a cardboard stall out of Bothwell St labelled TELEFONE.
    (No accents, or umlauts. T-E-L-E-F-O-N-E)

    They’re struggling to cross the road with it.
    Traffic is a mess since Strathclyde Police have detained a colleague
    (obviously on foreign exchange, judging by his distinct uniform)
    Who was directing traffic outside Central Station.

    Two cowboys
    Minnie Mouse
    A banana
    and the Riddler are aw riding in a bus down Maryhill Road.

    No Punchline.

    Fuck sake.

    Here comes some respite.

    Homer Simpson being put into the back of an ambulance.

    We all know how that’s going to end.
