All of Us
Thursday 25th August 2022
Text of the day: “Tiny village up north. ‘Butt-fuck-nowhere-ville’ I call it. Mum couldn’t cope with my ‘terrible affliction’ so I moved there to live with my grandparents when I was five. They’re dead now. They were well sweet but their idea of a wild night was watching Emmerdale with a curry! I swear, I nearly slit my wrists in that place. Then Nan found my vibrator one day and it all went a bit south! Couldn’t look me in the eye. You’d be the same, eh?” (Poppy in Francesca Martinez’s All of Us)
