So, after the huge success of February’s Stitched Saturday – seriously, if you haven’t had a look yet, go take a peek – here we are with a new month, and a new picture.
Hospital wards; disease and infection, mental institutions – I’d love to see what stories can be conjured from the picture below.
If you’re not familiar with Stitched Saturday, all your submissions will be collected together and posted up for the Stitched Smile blog post on the last Saturday in March – the 31st. No more than 1,500 words for each story or poem, and post them as comments to this blog post.
Don’t forget – we’ll be picking the best of them for our October “Best of Stitched Smile” collection, and those chosen for publication will get $10 and an e-copy of the book upon release.
So, here goes;

David Court is a short story author and novelist, whose works have appeared in over a dozen venues including Tales to Terrify, Strangely Funny, Fears Accomplice and The Voices Within. Whilst primarily a horror writer, he also writes science fiction, poetry and satire.
His writing style has been described as "Darkly cynical" and “Quirky and highly readable” and David can't bring himself to disagree with either of those statements.
Growing up in the UK in the eighties, David's earliest influences were the books of Stephen King and Clive Barker, and the films of John Carpenter and George Romero. The first wave of Video Nasties may also have had a profound effect on his psyche.
David also works as a Software Developer and lives in Coventry with his wife, three cats and an ever-growing beard. David's wife once asked him if he'd write about how great she was. David replied that he would, because he specialized in short fiction. Despite that, they are still married.
