18 Just Use the Thing

This the last, for a while anyway. I've got to do some tidying up of Mr Martinez before I publish it on 1st August. In the meantime, see if you can guess what happens to our hero in this story, let me know, because your guess is as good as mine. Image created at canva.com

17 What Would Interest Big Brother in Merthyr Tydfil?

Well, what? I ask you. I've reached 10,000 words on this. That milestone usually means I'll get a book out of a project. However, it also means I probably won't post the other 40 to 50,000 on here. I might do an excerpt or two between now and whenever I do finish it. Keep an eye out for it on the 'Zon, sometime after Mr Martinez appears.

Lines

Six lines are not a verse - or indeed - averse. Odd, it's fine if you pass it by. In red are your options for punctuating the last couplet, which will change the meaning of the lines, if you think about it. Image made at canva.com
