High Time : Tony Whelpton
High Time
High Time is essentially a story of the problems faced by a mixed-race married couple and their children, and of the long quest to repair the links broken many years earlier by a family dispute.
Eight year old Ruth Reid has a major preoccupation in her life, summed up by the question she keeps asking her mother, and which her mother never answers: ‘Why don’t I have a grandma or a grandad? All my friends at school do!’
Why doesn’t Ruth’s mother answer? Partly because she thinks Ruth is too young to be told, partly because she is afraid that the answer will reopen old wounds in her heart.
Ruth’s mother, Susan, is a white working-class girl from Nottingham, who ran away to London with her boyfriend Courtney, a black immigrant from Jamaica, after constant rows with her parents, and after Courtney was assaulted in what the national newspapers termed the ‘Nottingham Race Riots’ in 1958.
But Ruth has to wait until she is an adult herself to find out the truth, and vows that one day she will be reunited with her lost grandparents.
In 1986 Ruth and her husband move to Nottingham with their little girl Emily, and as a fortuitous consequence of arranging a Christmas party with a visiting Father Christmas, her dream is finally realised. Her story is complex and captivating, and, despite some serious setbacks on the way, is ultimately resoundingly successful.

The Isomers : Luka Machavariani
The Isomers
Personality disorder…
What a tired and over-used topic, right?
However; have you ever heard a story from the perspective of emerged identities?
This is a perfect chance to see a picture from the eyes of ‘the disease’ itself, without ridiculous superhuman abilities and maniacal multiple homicides.
A tale of a totally average guy’s recently arisen ‘dark-side’, with an unusual mix of little comedy, many disappointments and Yuri’s snow vodka.
The Last Writer : Cameron Nickels
The Last Writer
Tranquility. In a world balanced between Biological and Technological needs, tranquility had become the goal of both humans and their artificially intelligent partners; and there was a high price to pay for upsetting it.
Dissenters had been rooted out, imagination and creativity had been voted out and the once clearly defined roles of both the Biologics and the Technos had been blurred to the point that recognizing one from the other was as difficult as seeing the difference in the real and artificial grass surrounding the featureless buildings of the new world order that both man and machine had built.
Surviving in a world where every artificial flower in this Garden of Reason was watching would not be easy; recording the truth would be even more difficult; finding out who you really were, almost impossible. And what would happen to Tranquility if you did? What price would you pay if you were the Last Writer?
