Not a Drop to Drink - Patsy Collins

A collection of short stories by Patsy Collins Scientists say the human body is around 70% water. We know that's not true. Oh, we could drink 'straight' H20, but usually we don't. More likely it's vitamin rich juice or teeth rotting cola. We like a nice cup of tea to calm us down or cheer us up. Perhaps a nice glass of wine to celebrate or drown our sorrows. Two glasses. Too many glasses. Our bodies do contain liquid of course. Never just water. What's in yours; acid and bile or the milk of human kindness? Blood, sweat and tears of joy or sorrow? It's these waters Patsy hopes you'll find running through her stories.
