Jelly
Kerry is bored of small-town life. Her shop job is mundane, and the family TV is tuned in to an endless stream of Brexit, Nigel Farage and Donald Trump. Nearing breaking point she follows a cliffside path to a hidden cave, and the chance of an underground escape filled with jelly, snacks and hope.
