Isotonic Rum
Rosie had never felt
more stupid in her life but had decided to front it out. Stuck flat on her back
for the next half hour with everyone staring at her. So what if stripy tops
weren't in? She could take the other girls' sniggers. And what was so wrong
with the gold earring she was sporting? She'd seen worse. The eye patch was an
embarrassment but could pass as a legitimate ailment. The five o'clock shadow
was more difficult to explain; the parrot and fake wooden-leg nigh on
impossible. Rosie wished she'd read the invite to Pilates class properly.
About the author
Mike Olley made pop videos but gave it all up to live
next to a Spanish castle, where he grew cactuses, practised carpentry and wrote
strange funny stories. Unable to take the heat any longer, he returned to
England with his sense of humour and a half-baked novel. His first collection
of short stories is Better.
