Friday night is cigarette-in-hand, tits out, turning away from the front door when you clock his dirty blonde flop, angle the drink so it spills over, and you have to lick the sticky sweetness off your fingers.

Chuffed to be in this issue of @claudineliterary.bsky.social with my CNF “Friday Night Is”. Thanks to @nomad-sw18.bsky.social for the beta (if we’d been at uni together you would totally have been Shell or Kez, babe)
Thanks @dehardy.bsky.social 🧡🧡🧡

Love Ani's work, discovered via @smokelong.bsky.social fitness groups. She always manages to write something that builds and builds and hits you in the gut. This one's no exception. Plus plenty of other good stories to be found in @claudineliterary.bsky.social
