"Mica discovers that her neighbours have a dungeon, and they show her how it works"
I had been sitting in Hot Java, the coffee shop in the precinct, when a hand tapped my shoulder. Lost in introspection, I was unaware of my surroundings. The tap on my shoulder snapped me back to reality. I looked...
"An ancient infection causes promiscuity whilst surrounded by Polar Bears"
Havøysund was cold, and I mean bloody cold; even for Norway, it was on the bitter side. There were around three hundred and fifty inhabitants, mostly fishermen; you could even hire a boat for about six hundred krone a day,...
"My brother comes to stay and things get very personal"
The door opened, and an ‘only me’ came down the hall. Leo, my brother, had come to stay over for the new year. He would be here for a few days, and I had made up the spare room for...
"Mica's neighbour helps, and then later her son returns"
I was sitting in the lounge, lost in memories, remembering a week or so ago. Christmas was finished, but not everyone had gone back to work. Paul and Mik were both at work, but Leo, the eighteen-year-old from next door,...
"Mica is surprised at Mik's new approaches. Has he been having lessons elsewhere?"
I didn’t know what Mik had been up to. He had been keeping out of my way for two weeks now, ever since ‘the incident’. The other week he was out for the whole day, and as we were not...
"Unsure where to turn after recent events, Mik goes to see Aunt Maureen"

"The boys come for a visit - it turns out to be more than she expected"
“I have something bizarre to tell you,” Paul said as we sat down in the lounge. Dinner was finished, and the dirty dishes were all in the dishwasher. Mik, our son, was up in his room on his PlayStation; we...
"She gets a surprise visit just before Christmas."
It had been a long day. Paul had gone to bed, and I was sitting on the sofa in my dressing gown, drinking another sherry. I wasn't entirely sure how many I had drunk, but there was a distinct sway...
"I go and see Dad and an accidental touch leads to more"
Paul was at work, and I had a day off. I decided to pop round and check on Dad. Since I was up to date with the laundry and had a casserole quietly cooking for tea, I felt prepared. I...
"Mum helps the neighbour, unaware that her son is watching and that he wants his own help."
Jill lives next door; she is married to Jim. We had agreed that we would go to Meadowhall, a shopping mall near to Sheffield. We wanted some new outfits; it would soon be spring, and the summer clothes would be...
