Otto

An unexpected romance, second chances and small kindnesses.

Jeff is just about managing to hold his life together with gaffer tape and hope. His ex-wife got the house, the good car, and most of his salary. He got a twenty-one-year-old Corsa on its last legs, affectionately known as Otto.

So when Otto breaks down in the middle of nowhere, Jeff assumes it’s time for the scrapyard… until something finds its way into Otto. Something dark, something creepy, something with a Spice Girls obsession.

An unexpected romance, second chances and small kindnesses. Oh, and the humans have a similar thing going on too.

A story of around 5,700 words, set in Manchester, where if it isn’t raining now, it will be soon. A standalone short story in the Mancunian Magic world.
