Fearful Names
Grey Moon – Monday (ep. 12)
“I always wondered where the Bahamas got their name,” pondered Reala.
“I wonder where I got my name from,” sighed Yuffie. “I mean Yuffie. I’m meant to be some sort of queen of the dead.”
“I like your name,” said Reala.
“Pretty sure my name relates to a celestial bird,” said Fuen.
“Nice,” said Reala. “My sister was named after my mum.”
“Oh?” quizzed Yuffie.
“Yeah,” sighed Reala. “Growing up was hard when your sister was called Mum.”

Imaginary Drums
Grey Moon – Monday (ep. 11)
“For my twelfth birthday, my mum took me on holiday to the Bahamas,” reminisced Reala.
“For my twelfth birthday, my mum got me the book of the dead,” sighed Yuffie.
“For my twelfth birthday, my mum got me an imaginary drum kit,” moaned Fuen.
“An imaginary drum kit?” enquired Reala.
“Yeah,” grumbled Fuen. “Can’t beat that.”

Going Down
He woke up. He was moving down. He banged his fists on the roof.
“Damn you!” he screamed. “Damn you!”
He fumbled in his pocket, found a matchbox, flicked out a match and struck it.
His vision blurred. He drew what air he could into his lungs.
Above him, in red felt-tip pen. ‘Tight arse couldn’t buy me a fancy coffin’.
Then sleep.

Green Onions
“Heyas cutie-pie,” said Lucy.
“Oh erm, hello,” said Red.
“Aint you just the cutest Fear,” said Lucy with a wink.
Red blushed. Always an impressive feat when your face is red. “Ooh, err, OK,” he stammered.
“Mmm, you’re sweet to look at,” grinned Lucy.
“Ahh err, thank you, your pretty yourself miss!” mumbled Red.
“You know, if you want to see more of me, for £20 I’ll show you every bit of my long luscious legs,” offered Lucy.
“Ooo… Yes please!” said Red, handing over a crisp £20 note.
“Mmm, thanks, darling,” winked Lucy as slowly slid her skirt up to a skull covered pair of stocking tops.
“Cooooooor!” gasped Red.
“You know if you want to see more, for £60 I’ll show you my lady lumps,” smiled Lucy.
“Oh yeah, That’s a bargain for them melons!” bobbled Red, handing over three more crisp £20 notes.
“Why thank ya,” said Lucy, before sliding her fingers under her shirt pushing it up her tummy, the fabric bunching under her fingers as it moves up her body before flicking her sweater up giving a quick flash of her twin assets.
“Coooooooor!” bounced Red.
“You know… For £200 I’ll show you where the babies are born,” smiled Lucy seductively.
“Oh yes! I’m so having some of that!” said Red, thumping his tail on the floor while handing over £200.
Lucy leaned in close, and in a far sexier voice than his narrator can manage, said: “thanks, darling, now for where babies are born.”
Red bounced from one foot to another as Lucy slid the £280 down her top. With a curtsey and a smile, she leaned into the ever more excited Red, pointed towards the window and said, “just over there, St James hospital maternity ward, Thanks for the money I’ll see ya around.”
Lucy then promptly exited the bar.
“Oh yeah,” said Red, “that’s where babies are born alright…”
A penny was heard dropping.
“Wait… OI!”
Originally written as a sketch for the old Tales of the Blue Moon. A Pre-Fears project. It was performed in Second Life to the soundtrack of Booker Ts Green Onions. I couldn’t think of a more apt scene for Red to encounter Lucy…

Limbo Jane
Grey Moon – Monday (ep. 10)
“Oh, wait. Was that the time you went on holiday with Jane?” laughed Fuen.
“Yeah, with the frazzled hair,” said Yuffie.
“Did you know she was once in a championship limbo team?” asked Fuen.
“Mmhmm,” replied Yuffie. “I was on her limbo team when we took the three-inch championship in the Bahamas.”
“Nice,” said Fuen.
“Yep, we go way back,” smirked Yuffie.

Gum Smugglers
Grey Moon – Monday (ep. 9)
“I once got caught sneaking three hundred packets of bubblegum through customs,” moaned Reala.
“I once got caught smuggling twelve cases of Portuguese fortified wine into the country,” sighed Yuffie.
“Oh dear,” said Fuen. “Were you punished?”
“Yeah,” replied Yuffie. “I got deported.”
Silly mad late today. Pardon me. Somethings going up with LittleFears.co.uk as it’s currently a pain in the bottom to access it from the UK.

Stone Archway
He sits down in the corridor, watching the rain coming down outside the archway. She hasn’t arrived.
He watches a middle-aged couple, crying, flowers in hand. He knows the feeling.
She still isn’t here. He’s getting frustrated now.
He reaches back and polishes the brass plaque with his name on.
She hasn’t come for 7 years, he doesn’t know why he thinks she’ll come today.

Pocket Calculators
Grey Moon – Monday (ep. 8)
“Well I don’t like them,” moaned Yuffie. “They’re just too small.”
“Well yes,” said Reala, “but they’re still useful.”
“What’s that?” asked Fuen.
“Pocket calculators,” replied Reala.
“What’s the point of them?” asked Yuffie. “I have never been in a situation where I can’t count the number of pockets I have.”
A wee thanks to Esme for her recent review of Seeking Hydra.

Corner Sitting
Grey Moon – Monday (ep. 7)
“It’s a bit cold in here,” said Fuen.
“Try sitting in the corner,” replied Reala.
“Which corner?” asked Fuen.
“Any of them,” replied Reala. “They’re all about 90 degrees.”
