    God, that sounded really mean!

    I forgot I 'marked all read' earlier, so didn't spot you'd posted a new story - my disappointment was that I thought there was none!

    Off to have a read now...

    falls down into a massive crevasse full of ice and polar bears dressed as traffic wardens.
    He climbs higher and higher out of the crevasse and is kidnapped by the domino-people of Kergh.
    They transport him back to their planet where everybody is a domino. Suddenly the Sun explodes
    in a kaleidoscope of colour and he's back at school, only he's naked and everyone's laughing
    at him. So he uses his desk to smash a window and jumps out. Then he's flying, gliding, soaring
    above the town. Eagles appear and snatch him and take him back to their nest to feed to their chick.
    He wrestles with the chick, finally stumbling over the side of the nest he finds himself in a bookshop
    and finally, finally he finds the perfect book on edible Mushroom identification.

    Hmmm. Doing some last minute bollux about big bugs and little bugs. Thanks Ogden Nash.

    If I don't get my imagination back by next month I shan't bother again. Trouble is, the description of interests in my profile, "Staring at the wall" is beginning to become a reality. When is Dignitas going to implement my suggestion of providing suffocation by a fat lady's huge bottom?

    Hmm. Need to update my profile, IT contractor and part time rent boy is not right now I'm retired from IT. It should be full time rent boy.

    PS Right. Done it. More like a philosophical treatise than a story, that will bore the old ladies.
