New Fiction – ‘Visitors’

  The hospital. The colours. In this short story by Niamh Clarke, we follow a young girl as she makes her way to Alice's room... 'The marks of stool feet stomp out a circle and then another circle and then another.'    I first knew I was there by looking at the floor. The linoleum stretched itself out like a cat, its paws and its arms spread across the … [Read more...] about New Fiction – ‘Visitors’
