50 calls for journalism/writing pitches (October 10, 2022)
Last week I was awoken around 3am one night by torchlight streaming through the gap in the curtains, and the noisy hubbub of people with some form of authority needing to know stuff. There had been a report of burning, the people in uniform told my wife, and did we know what it might be? Even in my sleep-addled daze I could point directly to the pot my wife had left to simmer belching black smog from beneath its lid. ‘Go get the pot to show them,’ my wife instructed. I did, and on exiting the house walked face-first into a huge spider web. And so it was that I found myself, half asleep, and half naked in only my boxer shorts, grasping onto a burning hot pot of soup to display to a gaggle of excited police people in the darkness of the night, while a spider crawled around my head.
