This Never Happened Too
My second collection of short stories called: This Never Happened Too became available in the Kobo Bookstore on the 28th February 2018 (ISBN 1230002148076). This continued my '..dark, humorous, occasionally puerile..' style of short stories - fifty in total.
A few story examples are:
- I, Chimp
- It wasn't the bars and the wire fences that worried me, it was the in-house entertainment. I mean, there's only so many things you can do with a tyre tied to a tree branch: swing on it; push it; swing upside-down on it; bite it. For a chimp with a high degree of intelligence and a well-developed imagination, a tyre-swing is not an ideal form of stimulus. A bored zoo chimp starts to paint on his compound walls.
- Chin A Panda
- A man; a panda; a fight. Who wins?
- War And Peace
- The pacifists were out in force, beating up anyone moderately in favour of the war. War breaks out with disasterous consequences.
- The Voices In My Head
- The voices in my head told me to kill Sooty.
- Anthony
- Tony was an atheist. Not for him the wimpish, effete, uncertainty of agnosticism: he was a devoutly, true unbeliever; staunch in his views, and active in his contempt for stupid, woolly-headed, God-fearing fools.
- My Acting Career
- A Thomsons gazelle recounts her acting career.
The book is price £1.99 or equivalent from the Kobo Bookstore.
