Another story that came about from going to my writing group, The Ink Tank. This time we were taking programme titles from a TV guide and making something else out of them. In my usual style, I picked a film title and added a couple of letters...

Never Let Me Grow
My name is Sam. I am four. I can't remember not being four. Mummy says that is because of my injections. I have insulin injections every day because I am a diabetic. Mummy says the injections make time seem to go slower. Mummy says other boys my age are still my age. I don't see other boys now because it's the school holidays. It's always the school holidays. Mummy says when I am five I can have a bicycle for my birthday. She says I can have stabilisers. Stabilisers will stop my knees from getting bumped. On my birthday I want a new Daddy. But Mummy says Daddy is the best Daddy in the whole wide world. I like Daddy. But I think he is broken. Sometimes he goes on and off when I look at him. When Daddy smiles, it looks wrong. Like he is pulling silly faces. I think Daddies cost a lot of money. I think they cost the same as ten bicycles.
