Two Peas In a Dumpster Fire
Dan and Marnie were conceived for one another. A mismatch made in hell. Like two peas in a dumpster fire, their love was blind, deaf, and driving without a license. He was obnoxious and took her to a motel for an hour of anticlimactic, earth grazing sex. She'd complain, but he was rich.

Why 'Time Owes No Favours' Is Supposed to Hurt
I recently wrote a piece for Belle's Back To Our Youth unofficial challenge, and it was one of the hardest stories I’ve written from an emotional standpoint. The piece is called Time Owes No Favours. If you haven’t read it yet, I recommend doing so for context—it’s a story I’m incredibly proud of.

Time Owes No Favours
"Remember, you will have only 24 hours, so make whatever you do count." That message rang in my ears as I went to sleep. If things went according to plan, I'd wake up several years—okay, decades—back in time to May 17th, 1985. I had a very restless night. Fortunately, my associates had supplied me with a strong version of benzodiazepine. As soon as I popped a couple of pills and downed them with the last of my Irn Bru, I passed out and was in dreamland.

Why I Love One Piece
I have always loved films, TV, and music. They are part of my blood, my DNA. I could have easily written this piece on a Danny Boyle film, Firefly, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, or something by David Lynch or Paul Verhoeven or why my favourite Tarantino film is Inglorious Basterds—and maybe I will at some point. There are plenty of other big names I haven’t even mentioned. But when I read Angela's brief for this challenge, I knew immediately which show I was going to write about.

The Hush - Serene Subordination. Runner-Up in Tomorrow’s Utopia Challenge.
### - ### Welcome to The Hush Second Decade Utopia was always a pipe dream many felt we would never see in our day. Countless generations hoped for but came to the same sad conclusion. Never in our day.

Until I Had None Left To Give. Top Story - April 2025.
So, I already had an entry for this challenge, and would have loved to have done something using my voice, etc., but I do not really have the resources or the budget for that. My first entry was solely the lyrics and structure, with lots of information about how I would have composed it if I had the time, resources, and skills.
