Til tiptoes into the room. Hey Jamie? she whispers. Hmm? I just wanted to check How much longer will Buster be staying with us? she asks. She makes sure that he is still asleep in the hallway, then looks back at me. I dunno. Until he goes, I...
Tilmonster and I stare into the pond. “I think he’s dead,” I say after awhile. “Or maybe he’s asleep”. I use a stick to gingerly prod the body lying still at the bottom of the pond. We watch it brush aside water lilies as it floats to the surface and bobs there, turning gently until []
Road trip! My family flies over to visit me. This is the third time they’ve seen me this year but they obviously miss me too much to stay away. This is understandable. I would miss me too. I decide to make it an extra special visit for them and offer to take them on a []
I jerk awake. Thud! The sliding door rattles. Is someone trying to break in? I can hear scuffling and panting outside, then the sliding door is attacked again. Thud! More scuffling and panting.

Whoosh! I speed along the bike path. It’s early in the morning but there are already pedestrians blocking the path ahead. I bully old ladies out of my way and charge down dogs straying into my lane. I snarl as I pass them, all bared teeth and aggression. Can they not see that I am []
Sad. Sad sad sad, saddity saddity sad. My dog has just passed away. I’d said my goodbyes when I was home earlier this year. She was old and I thought that I might not see her again. So I gave her extra kisses and cuddles, breathed in her doggy scent, and told her that I []
I buy a road bike. Badger is doubtful. “Are you sure?” he asks. “I know it’s second-hand, but it’s still a lot of money.” “It would be a lot more money if I bought it new. Think of how much I’m saving!” He persists. “But will you use it? You hardly use your old one []
