Cosmic Constipation. Honorable Mention in Absurdist Awakening Challenge. Top Story - March 2025.
These days, the route up to Abra Doon's small stone cottage on Bridestones Moor is heavily militarised. Where once there was a winding, pot-holed country lane navigable only by sheep and the good-tempered, there now lies a broad, slick black tarmac expanse to enable the manoeuvres of tanks, missiles, and personnel.

Let Me Out
Itâs finally Friday! After a full day of teaching, it feels like my energy has been drained. So, I decided to do something for myselfâgive myself a little gift, just like I do for my students. Maybe itâll cheer me up. I jumped into my car, buckled up, and got ready for my next adventure to the store. Strangely, my face wasnât smiling. It was serious, as if this were a routine every single Friday. Or maybe it was! Was I shopping last Friday too? I canât quite remember. Well, after thirty, everything changesâthatâs what they say, right?

The Grocery Store Conspiracy: When Bananas Plot Against You
The Day My Groceries Turned Against Me Have you ever had a routine trip to the grocery store turn into a full-blown existential crisis? I have. It all started on a perfectly normal Tuesday when I reached for a loaf of bread, only to hear it whisper, "Are you sure about that?" What followed was an odyssey involving telepathic produce, a cashier with a PhD in conspiracy theories, and a rogue shopping cart determined to alter my destiny.
