An original short story for radio, written and read by Eley Williams.
An original short story for radio, written and read by Eley Williams.
Dazed by the primary colours of a local soft play centre, a parent finds it difficult to be fully present. She is distracted by something on her phone, a clip looping over and over of a gesture that has gone viral. She doesn't know how to interpret it, and its potential for harm, until an unexpected moment involving her five year old son forces her to confront its implications.
Eley Williams' short fiction appears in anthologies including The Penguin Book of the Contemporary British Short Story, and has been shortlisted for the 成人快手 National Short Story Award. Her debut collection 'Attrib. and Other Stories' won the James Tait Back Memorial Prize for fiction, and her second collection 'Moderate to Poor, Occasionally Good' is longlisted for this year's Dylan Thomas Prize.
