Ho, Ho, Ho. Content Warning.
The family were all tucked up in bed. Sheets freshly washed. Children dutifully scrubbed and wearing new pyjamas. Everyone had long since succumbed to sleep. Wrung out. The children with anticipation, and the grown-ups with ordinary exhaustion.

Going Down?. Top Story - January 2025.
They used to call them cages, did you know that? Probably because that's what they looked like, all metal bars. It's still a good name for them. The way you feel inside. Trapped. Isolated.

Leaving
All it's gonna take is for the Jerrys to reckon it out, what we're doing, and I bet they drop a bomb on the train station. With all us kids on the platforms. We'll be blown to bits.

Before The Sleep
You could slice the tension in the air with one razor-sharp claw. She raises one, as if to do just that. It's curved, like her mouth. All those teeth! Bright white and so very long, like frost-glazed midwinter nights. Their points carry venom, and the promise of festive red splashes. Wine on snow.

Is That You?
It just sort of turned up one day, the way cats do. We didn't think anything of it at the time. That's how it goes, right?

After
He's not long got home. The runners crunched over the snow. He welcomed the sharp, fresh smell of it. It meant home, and rest.

Mr Red
The problem with living such a long, long time is the yearning. Tonight, he was feeling melancholy, which wasn't terribly unusual, especially at this time of year. He was also feeling nostalgic, which wasn't something he often indulged in.

The Government Hushed It Up
We don't know where they came from or exactly when. Sometime in the last couple of weeks most likely. Thing is, the ocean is almost as unexplored as space. Some thought they've been hiding right here all this time. Weird we've never seen any evidence of them, though, right? That's why others believe conspiracy theory that they arrived, in secret, from outer space. From a far flung ocean planet. Chance would have it, so they believe, that our own sea is a decent immitation. Close enough anyway.

Bunny's Regular
"Go on," she nudged him with a toe, "Have a drink with me. Just one. Please?" She grinned. He drank in her polished blue toenails. She didn't wear stilettos anymore, not here in the booth anyway. She didn't like them and didn't want to wear them, so she shucked them the moment the curtain swung behind her.

The Grind
"Back again?" Another swing of her smooth hips, a brightly painted smirk. She's lying. He knew. It was a gift. Even silent, her lies clanged against his nerves. Her every gesture was a falsehood. Her smile, her laugh.

A Dangerous Mission
Osbert, Nigel, and Phineus were on a mission. "This way, lads!" Osbert called out. "Which way?" Nigel grumbled. "We can't pissing see anything."

Thinly Spread
Sandy spread the butter as sparsely as possible on the single piece of thinly sliced budget bread. She nibbled it, perhaps hoping that by eating for longer her body would be tricked into believing it had eaten more.
