Cheaper Than Therapy

Sub-Q Magazine commissioned a piece on the theme of love for their February 2019 issue. There were only two constraints – it must suit the theme, and use fewer than 1000 words.

‘They say that somewhere in the city there’s a witch who’ll help you numb the pain.’

The piece is swift to play, and looks at what comes after heartbreak: recovery, sometimes enabled by the kindness of stranger.
