Cosmic Constipation. Honorable Mention in Absurdist Awakening Challenge. Top Story - March 2025.
These days, the route up to Abra Doon's small stone cottage on Bridestones Moor is heavily militarised.

Driving up there, I lost count of how many checkpoints I had to pass through just for one fifteen-minute interview.

The Art of the Fowl. Runner-Up in Absurdist Awakening Challenge.
Chuck yawned in perfect sync with the buffering sun. Another day, another bit of grain. He rolled out of bed. Lethargic, he shuffled to the fridge. Empty. He sighed. The grocery store it was then.

Bacon replaced by potato chips, cheese with chalk and once, a screwdriver substituting a cucumber.
