Gum Smugglers

LittleFears42 Comments

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

LittleFears20 Comments

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.”

Backward Maps

Grey Moon – Monday (ep. 6)

Fuen jumped as her phone beeped.

“Is that a new phone?” asked Reala.

“Looks like it,” laughed Yuffie. “Mine’s been overdue an upgrade as long as Fuen’s.”

“Hey, check it out,” said Fuen. “I have an email here saying Google can now read maps backwards.”

“Oh, that’s just spam,” said Reala.

Forgotten Rooms

LittleFears15 Comments

He walked past the graffiti-laden walls, 36 steps, turn left, 42 steps, right wall.

Someone had stolen the bench. He felt the wall and floor. Click. The wall slid to the right. The dust drifted upwards on the disturbed air.

Nobody had found this room. It must have been 20 years. The door marked by them clawing from the inside. He could hear their screams. He could smell their fear. He would never forget. How could he?

Now they’d led him back here. The door closed quietly behind him.

Lady Lozenge

Grey Moon – Monday (ep. 5)

Yuffie shook out the newspaper. “Oh, that’s a shame.”

“What’s that?” asked Fuen.

“The lady who invented the throat lozenge has passed away,” replied Yuffie.

Reala and Fuen gave Yuffie a moment.

“It says here that there will be no coffin at the funeral.”

Elephant Room

LittleFears26 Comments

Grey Moon – Monday (ep. 4)

“Mind if I order on a tab?” asked Yuffie.

“Sure,” replied Reala. “Running a bit short?”

“Yeah, I bought Fuen an elephant for her room,” said Yuffie.

“Hey, yes, thanks for that,” said Fuen.

“Don’t mention it,” replied Yuffie.

Train Journeys

LittleFears42 Comments

The train rocked. She woke.

“Look at me,” came a voice from the other end of the carriage. A lone passenger, watching her.

She avoided his gaze and stared out the window. She couldn’t place where the train was. Too dark outside.

“Look at me,” he said.

He was close, two seats up the carriage, moving towards her. She peered back out the window.

“Look at me,” he said, sitting next to her. She did.

Denver never did find her eyes.

I do like train related horror… Maybe too many years commuting on London Transport…  A couple more review thanks and shout outs for Seeking Hydra.

500 Injuries

LittleFears21 Comments

Grey Moon – Monday (ep. 3)

Fuen staggered into the pub.

“You look knackered,” said Reala.

“I know,” sighed Fuen. “I just injured myself walking 500 miles delivering post.”

“Oh dear,” replied Reala.

“The postal company said I had to walk 500 more,” moaned Fuen.

“Injured at work? You could be entitled to compensation,” said Yuffie. “Call the Pro Claimers to find out.”
