Thank you so much to everyone at the M.O.D and the RAF and to all who have kindly supported my writing.

She

July 5, 2026

Yes,
she was here,
in fear,
fleeing for her life,
from a psychopath with an axe,
yea,
Futura City police,
they took out a revenge attack,
and now there is a dead man with an axe,
the policeman says to the reporter,
and the reporter with his shoes all covered in blood,
smokes a cigarette,
yeah, he's not on amphetamines like most,
and he has only just popped in,
popped in on the shuttlecraft from the off-world colony,
and the reporter sighs at the news,
and he seems disappointed the policeman notices,
and seems mildly annoyed,
but the policeman says,
there was a whole family liquidised,
and sacrificed,
in a block of flats,
in a voodoo ceremony,
yeah, people high on crack,
so, if it is a slow news day,
why don't you write about that?
And he shrugs his shoulders,
but it ain't nothing unusual for Futura city,
but it's the facts.
