¨Emotion buzzed round the man’s face like a vulture arriving at a carcass already picked clean.¨

If Destroyed Still True
Short fiction, 2025
Published and translated into Spanish for Canal #4: Dark Rooms.

¨I wondered if I would do it too. I waited to feel myself tick. I waited for the inevitable feeling, the one that comes when you open the door to death and suddenly it takes your hand, and then you’re walking towards the ring road like its the most obvious choice in the world. It doesn’t come, so instead I sit in my swivel chair and imagine Helen’s last moments, her dire circumstance, when she realised that only actions count in this world.¨

A Theory for the Strange-Girl: Raw Red Text
Manifesto, 2025/2017
Republished in Love & Lightning: A Collection of Queer and Feminist Manifestos by Valiz and Girls Like Us.

¨The Strange-Girl accords to the language of this necessary dogmatism, as a reaction to the stagnation of the Young-Girl and the increasing frustration of girls. The Young-Girl wants us to believe there is nothing new (settle down and accept your fate). Tiqqun state emphatically that this is not true. The Strange-Girl acts with the full force of this knowledge: embedded in her body is the promise of lightning.¨

¨A girl in a white t-shirt, bikini underneath still sopping from the sea, enters the plaça and swipes a wallet from one of the tables. Just as I long for surprise, I want always the festivity of stealing. Either objects or glances, both hold the same ambrosial weight.¨

¨The continued fiction of our existence was proven again and again. It refused to be erased. The way that refusal can shape the day; the way that we can experience, momentarily, the other possibilities that await us—we train ourselves, make it last longer every time.¨

¨When we fucked, language blistered. The silvering of our shared aura broke a sweat that slid down to our heels. We flared the same colour, as our hearts jumped out of our chests. We briefly swapped them, something I had never done before. Afterwards, I thought of their heart often, wanting to feel it heavy inside my chest again. My identity has always been in flux, gathering pace, gaining, losing . . . But it was in their shifting skin that I first recognised both myself and the world.¨
