Boiler broke. Brrrr. “Bloody bastard!”

Bathtime? Banished.

Balmy bedtime? Bequeathed.

Blankets became bountiful.

Beep beep beep. “Boiler bloke?” Beckoned.

“Bonjour!” Boiler bits bagged. Blimey! Bright boy.

Benevolent, blessed - better boiler bestowed.

Beaming! Bursting! Breathe…

Bath broke. “Bugger! Blast!”

I’m a writer, a storyteller, a lunatic. I imagine in a parallel universe I might be a caricaturist or a botanist or somewhere asleep on the moon — but here, I am a writer, turning moments into multiverses and making homes out of them.
