Well,“It was just for a laugh,” I say it out loud, a way of explaining me using the Lords name in vain. God can come at you with his entire wrath for all your many sins, if you have any at all that is, and I still think it’s worth ashot saying it was all just for a laugh.  \nI’m looking about the room expecting to see blood but there isn’t a drop. Not a speck of the red anywhere about me. On the floor across from me I see a fractured syringe. I haven’t shot up in months. I was sleep walking again and this is where I’ve ended up; the sitting room on the cold wooden floor. I always seem to wake up in the hellest of places; never on a couch, me bed or even the tattered rug, always beside a rubbish bin or in a damp corridor. I never remember how I get there and I don’t ask myself why, not this time, not never.  \n* * *  \nI’m meeting her for the first time. She’s sitting across from me in the crowded night time fast food hole. We’re both eating taco fries. Is that a sign? If that’s whiskey she’s slipping into her drink then I’m taking it as a sign. I’m already walking over to her by the time she’s twisting the cap on the hip flask. I pop the lid off my drink and slide it over by way of asking for a shot of her brown friend.  \nShe looks in my eyes and asks me,“Where’d you get the halo?”  \nI role my eyes up to see what the hell she’s talking about and I duck when I see what it is. A bloody halo hanging over me…I don’t mean to say it’s bloody, there’s not a speck of the red on it, it’s black like ink, but “Christ,” I shout,“how the hell did that get there?”  \n“Yeah”, she say’s,“looks like you need some alright,” ","cbCainwnF3GUJhN4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainwnF3GUJhN4","pdf",168778,"English","# A Few Changes\n## Alt.Fiction\n## Advertise with Hub\n## About Hub\n# Fiction: Gritty Candyfloss\n## By Simon Fay\n# Review: Planet Terror\n# Feature: The Brightonomicon – episode breakdown (4 of 4)","[{\"question\":\"What editorial update does Hub Issue 48 provide?\",\"answer\":\"The editors explain a hiatus and reorganization, then confirm they have returned to a weekly schedule and thank readers for their messages during the break.\"},{\"question\":\"What fiction piece is included in this issue?\",\"answer\":\"The issue contains the short fiction “Gritty Candyfloss” by Simon Fay.\"},{\"question\":\"Which featured items and sections are listed in the contents?\",\"answer\":\"Contents include a review of “Planet Terror” and a feature titled “The Brightonomicon – episode breakdown (4 of 4),” along with sections such as Alt.Fiction, advertising information, and donation guidance.\"}]","Hub - Issue 48 - A Few Changes | PDF",1789969488,11]
