Lady Maladroit: Black Box
http://ladymaladroit.blogspot.com/2010/10/black-box.html
Sunday, October 03, 2010. Although my Grandmother died eight years ago, my inheritance has only just surfaced. Her demon husband, the step father of my mother lingered after her and kept her treasures horded close. Although he remarried soon after her death, he had no qualms in keeping that which wasn’t his, no matter what his new wife thought. As I opened up my newly acquired treasure trove, sights and sounds came back to me. Item One: a plastic bread bag full of butter knives with bone handles. The jam...

Sunday, June 29, 2008. 8220; See the amazing Liquid Girl! 8221; Shouted the man in a faded velvet jacket. “Watch her slowly melt before your eyes! The threadbare curtains are pulled back to reveal a girl in a blue woollen bathing suit, covered with white pearls. She is sitting on a stool in the centre of the stage. The stage is sloped at the front, and has a funnel that runs from below the girls feet to a trough at the front of the stage. Her skin is shining with droplets. 8221; She was so surprised to h...

Lady Maladroit: January 2007
http://ladymaladroit.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 02, 2007. Susan liked sounds and anti-sounds, she liked to write lists of her favourite words, sounding them out as she wrote them in a whisper and circling the silent parts of them. Sweetheart" that inaudible 'th' soft, like a caress. Phonograph" the long and short combinations. Knight" the sister word to night, its secret letter only revealed on paper. Susan became an eavesdropper to conversations over tea and chocolate cake. As Susan walked about the house, or shifted in her bed at ni...

Lady Maladroit: Dishes

Tuesday, April 01, 2008. 8221; his boss yelled across the room, luckily it was a slow day, hence Josh's opportunity to get to the cobweb, so there were no customers to be alarmed. Except Josh of course, he was quite alarmed, what exactly was he doing wrong? His boss explained. “ The shop is meant to have cobwebs, that's what gives it such a great book shop atmosphere. You may sweep and mop the floor each night before you leave the store, but that's it! 8220;Oh God, the coffee! 8221; she exclaimed. The pa...

Lady Maladroit: The Princess and the Pea.
http://ladymaladroit.blogspot.com/2007/11/princess-and-pea.html
Tuesday, November 13, 2007. The Princess and the Pea. Once upon a time, isn´t that the way all fairy stories begin? Upon a time, beyond time, a realm where imagination is paramount and rules over a kingdom lush and fertile. So to begin again. Once beyond a time there was, of course a kingdom. This kingdom is ruled, of course, by a king. The king had a son, a prince of course! The years pass, the king ages and the prince begins to think about finding a princess to marry. The king was preparing for bed, wh...

Thursday, September 13, 2007. The girl in the glass case. However, this little fawn had affected the glass case stronger than any of the animals to previously come across it. The case began to move, it began to slide on invisible wheels and soon it was rushing through the trees, away from the clearing, away from the clear glade. The case rushed on, the trees flashed by, the scenery blurred and yet still the girl inside was peaceful. 8221; he mumbled “Daughter, Susan? 8221; he screamed “Answer me! Finally...

Lady Maladroit: February 2007
http://ladymaladroit.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 02, 2007. When I was young, I had this childhood friend. We were near neighbours, as her house was across the park from mine. The first thing that struck me about her, was the myriad. On her shins. I thought perhaps she was beaten, perhaps she played hockey. Or soccer, something that would account for contact between shins and hard things. On her shins and elbows. Years later, when we had drifted apart, I ran into her on the street. She walked into my chin, then stood rubbing her for...
