The New Blog
MalfunctionsThis one is the first. About being a new blog
—New blog, Mary. Global reach. Infinite.
Mary didn’t look up from the kettle.
—It’s more words, Andy. You’re leaking them. The house is full of ’em.
—It’s a platform! The digital age.
—It’s a distraction. You’ve got the novels, the day job, the lot. When’s your head gonna rest?
—I’m ‘buzzing’, Mare. Look at the screen. Static’s gone.
She turned, clicking the tea box shut.
—You’re sixty-one, not a teenager with a TikTok. Sit down. Drink your tea. Give the alphabet a night off, eh?
Andy grinned, fingers hovering.
—One post. a ‘Hello World’.
—World’s busy, try ‘Hello Mary’ first.
