Private Hell
It had been this way for thousands of years; there was never a question of boredom so long as new entertainment could be found. The only hell in a purgatory of sorts was to be bored. After all, this was forever in a manner of speaking. Memnock took his place as he did every day, perched on top of his fluffy white cloud, positioned nicely for the coming hours.

Yes, dogs can be like that - a beast to one person and as soft as butter with someone else. You held the tension all the way through, Jane. The weaving in of the family background and issues was deftly done. A very credible, enjoyable story...

Yes, 1-1 after extra time and, funnily enough, I can't remember the penalty shoot out score or probably choose to forget. Glad the Muggins clan caught the match even if it did end in disappointment. Onwards to the next tale of Alfred N Muggins...

Another lovely vignette, Rhiannon. Marmaladey shade, yes. I have two ginger tom cats and adore them. I enjoyed reading about Hobbes and that's a super pic. Paul

Eesh the tension of making it back in time to watch most of the match. Beautiful semi medieval towns. Yes, I guess so. You should try Brackley as well at some point. It's very lovely and rich in history and interesting buildings.

Made me think of Stephen King's "Cujo". I must admit, I didn't see that twist coming which is always the sign of good writing. Adriotly done, Jane. Really enjoyed. Paul
