In recent years I have been quite fond of my short daft pieces. These might have been longer pieces which just didn't call out for their length at this point, and might be reworked one day. Or they were just excuses for dreadful puns. Or wee daft satires I liked.
The Short Humour site offered a spot for them, for which I am grateful.
The Lemur Crime - a man is attacked by a bad bunch of ring tailed lemurs.
Why I Survived The Evil House - some live in haunted houses, others live in passive aggressive houses.
part 2 - Our chap might have survived, but his situation continues to amuse...
Twisted - a mother berates her teenage son. Strangely, he doesn't seem to be replying...
Curiosity Killed the Cat? - A story I make no apology for the fact only exists for the terrible pun.
Police Assistance - The automated phone service of the future
The Teddy Bar - a drunk teddy bear tries to find its way home from the pub.
Mrs Norris - The worlds great psychic, who continuously foresees her own demise.
In the Beginning - The start of a novel I abandoned in 2004. The opening of Genesis, as it really happened.
How to get A head in life - A man's head explodes, and he gets to meet Death. He doesn't like her.
Spice up Swimming and Make it Snappy - the IOC decide to improve the Olympic swimming heats.
Sands Denial - I honestly haven't the foggiest...
How to Be Dead - A man has no idea how to be properly dead. As read at Word Dogs in 2007. The rest of the story can be found here:
