Trouble, trouble, trouble all the time. The quartet were almost devastated. It wasn’t that they had lost the sense of being a quintet along with all of the possible melodic sequences that allowed, or the chance to do an impression of the Dave Clark Five. Take Five! It was the loss of Ena and allContinue reading “Chapter 16”

Chapter 15
Overdose. The group sat on the beach at Both, watching the waves coming in and going out. They sat in two groups of five, the local delicious Fairies and the five travellers. To a casual observer it may have appeared that they sat as two alternative groups, six Fairies and four travellers. To the moreContinue reading “Chapter 15”

Problems in Both. The approach to the coast turned out to be very pleasant. The smell of the salt in the air made their spirits rise and the thought of a good nights kip surrounded by hot chicks, and the possibility of fresh meat for the Orc babe, made them so much more contented. ExceptContinue reading “Chapter 14”

You can’t fool me. The dubious quintet continued South. It would be nice to say it got warmer but it didn’t, the surface temperature being pretty much the same all over the planet. It was very, very cold at the extreme south and extreme north, known as the Poles, apparently, but throughout the rest ofContinue reading “Chapter 13”

I see a Pixy and I want it painted black. The Chancellor’s Chief Hench thing gathered together his team of Brownies to do the dirty on Peter. They needed to dig deep into his past and uncover any kind of trouble they could. Was there any scandal surrounding sex or finance? Did he have aContinue reading “Chapter 12”

On the origins of Warwick Hunt. Warwick Hunt had arrived at the City of Setebos some years earlier after a freak accident involving aggrieved co-workers, a spot of jealousy, a wormhole and a bubbling vat of lard. The very scary Warwick Hunt originates from Earth though not quite down to earth; he had ideas aboveContinue reading “Chapter 11”

Dumbell Ena The atmosphere inside the inn was very much like that of any Public House anywhere in the Known Universe. It was probably the same as any Public House in the Unknown Universe but that will never be known. There was one major difference; you have to travel far and wide on earth toContinue reading “Chapter 9”

At the sign of the Slug and Rider. The afternoon wore on and the Sun sank her heavy head toward the horizon. In a twirl of mysticism the Sun sang, and she wants us all to know that she gets tired too and is glad of the night so she can rest. The quartet trudgedContinue reading “Chapter 8”
Chapter 3
Desperately seeking Innocent. It was a relatively short, though oppressive walk to the City of Setebos. The woodland clung to their breath as they toddled along in search of forgiveness and a potential cure. The sky looked down gravely on the heroes, overcasting doubt on the success of their mission. The Sun beamed her gloriousContinue reading “Chapter 3”
Letters from France?
Sitting here today working on part of my Inspector Flaange detective series and I suddenly remembered the term ‘French Letter’ as a euphemism for a condom. So I wondered why is it ‘French Letter’? Any ideas? I found this quote “In Britain, this is a rather old-fashioned euphemism for a condom; in France the phraseContinue reading “Letters from France?”
