Liars' League (london) Archive - 2011

"It is evening. Kayleigh is sitting cross-legged on the edge of my sofa. She is watching my television. Her eyes are narrow slits. She is catlike. Kayleigh scoops salsa with nacho chips. I look up from the book that I am not really reading and I watch as a glob of tomato evades her fleshy lips. It explodes, fat and satisfied, onto the cream upholstery. To me, this happens in slow-motion." Kayleigh by Julie Mayhew was read by Charlotte Worthing at the Fear & Loathing Liars' League event on 11 October 2011.
