Everyday Fiction

New story in Everyday Fiction


From Paul A Freeman:

What a bizarre, eighty-miles-per-hour murder mystery. Could be a 'Knives Out' sequel.

Thanks for the read, Derek.


From my nephew David X:

Short, sweet and to the point (pun intended) 😊


My Neice Tracy, 
Was a bit worried about which niece was going to be named! 😝

Another Neice George:
I thought it was 'Auntie ' Gladys? Not niece? The one that didn't like jelly? How about that for a plot for your next story?

FYI "Auntie Gladys" was not anyone's aunt, but a friend of the family. She was tickled pink when the Dave Clark Five released a song with the chorus "I'm feelin' glad all over".

Pantomime racist

James Cleverly has been informed that the government has failed to stop the boats. His only response was ‘Oh yes we have’. Is it pantomime season?

It is a misguided racist piece of nonsense. A clear signal to racists that if you hate migrants you should vote for the class enemy.

James Cleverly also famously made jokes about Rohypnol. What a caution!
