The Ladybird has Eyes on Her Back

A Short Story by Emma Whitelaw


Jimmy: My dearest rats, have you ever felt like you were being watched? But not by something so mundane as another person, God, or a nefarious megacorp. Maybe you let something into your home that you should not have. Maybe you thought it was nice and friendly. But now it is everywhere, walking in places unseen while all you do is very much seen.

This is the un/waking world of Emma’s amazing new story about a ladybird - also known in some languages as God’s little cow - who will never leave you be.


We have also been treated to some wonderful art to accompany this story by Kat Tittmar. You can check out more of their work on Instagram.
