S T Vasectomy Clinic - 19
It was slightly off-putting to hear Cece pacing around on the landing, going between her bedroom and the baby’s room. He tried to ignore her but for...

S T Vasectomy Clinic - 18
Bizarrely he was back at The Driffold in what seemed like a fraction of the time it had taken on the outward journey to the paddock. He wiped the...

Thank you Insert. I find the weekly IP a good inspiration. We are fascinated and frightened by the idea that aliens might invade and destroy Earth but are we just talking about ourselves?

I really enjoyed reading this
Posted on Wed, 26 Sep 2018
I really enjoyed reading this, it brought to life a typical suprmarket shift complete with misery and the type of characters which seem to crop up in most workplaces. It recall my own stint in 'provisions', I got a verbal warning for failing to...

A beautiful little tree holds

The earth is just about
Posted on Mon, 14 Mar 2022
