In my experience, those young ninjas don't usually stand a chance against the eyes-in-the-back-of-the-head guardian of the household! Nice evocation of childhood.

Beautifully controlled, with the richness of the detail enabling the reader to see, hear and taste the scene. Sharp and lyrical at the same time.

Posted on Mon, 17 Oct 2016
Really exciting chapter. The paragraph beginning 'She was feeling dizzy...' is particularly effective - there was something horrific in the image of Johnson's 'pale face' just staring at her. I admire the way you are racking up the action while...
