She did not." 2.

MUSIQUE by Barry McKinley, read by Paul Clarke "Mac and Kevin stood in the Young Ireland Ballroom and studied the strange gyrating creatures. There was nothing even remotely attractive to the eye in the posturing and prancing and posing, but that didn't matter because Mac and Kevin hadn't come for the dancing."

Two stories from the second half of our November Cloak & Dagger event, including: 1.

THE CREATION by Paul Sweeten read by Cliff Chapman "I begin every morning lying in the same double bed, but I will later tell my students never to write a story in which a man wakes up and goes through a routine. But then I’ll tell them to make their writing faithful to perception, faithful to their own lives, and sometimes I’ll mention the name of the writer who first said that. Sometimes I won’t, and they’ll go away thinking it was me." All stories were read at the Liars' League CLOAK & DAGGER event on Tuesday, 12th November 2013 at The Phoenix, Cavendish Square, London.
