Jordan Gravette Part 3 of 6

For this part, I thought I was ripping off a scene from Seven (Google it, unless you're as old as me then you won't have to). So why does my wife think I stole it from a Christmas episode of the Vicar of Dibley? I'm not posting tomorrow. If Mrs L finds me anywhere near a computer screen on Christmas Day it won't just be the turkey being stuffed. She's right of course. It's the one sacrosanct day of the year we have left to bask in the warmth of our families and loved ones. It would be a shame to waste it. Normal service will resume on Boxing Day (tha's Part 4...the one with the sex scene). Merry Christmas L42

Jordan Gravette Part 2 of 6

Have you ever been watching an episode of your favourite TV series with someone who has never seen it before, so they spend the entire episode asking dumb questions like 'who's that' and 'why are they doing that' to the point where you just want to stab them. Well, don't be that person. Read Part 1 before you read this. Don't make me go to the kitchen and get a knife.

Jordan Gravette Part 1 of 6

Ahem...this is a Christmas story that comes in six parts. I've shamelessly stolen the plot from Charles Dickens and the format from Channel 5's Taskmaster... and maybe a bit of 'It's a Wonderful Life'. It's also seasoned with ground up bits from the Greek classics. To be honest I've tried to exert as little effort as possible when it comes to cranial activity. I sort of just pinched some stories and typed them out. There's a sex scene in part 4 or 5 that competes well with anything Alan Titchmarch has written and in places things get quite dark. Apart from that, merry Xmas. xx (Pictures mine...taken in Calgary, Canada)
