Status Updates From Boys Who Go Bump in the Nig...

After bumping into a ghost in the basement and...more bumping, our protagonist climbs back upstairs and runs into the boss from the previous update:

'Jesus Christ, Pete, are you all right? You look white as a sheet! Are you feeling a bit queer?'

And he must think I'm an absolute bloody nutcase as I laugh so hard I double over.

Me too, Pete. Me too. *giggles*

"[...]my new boss[...]who obviously has no idea what the word 'queer' means these days. This morning I've been introduced to the 'queer' cash register that keeps ringing up the wrong amounts, the 'queer' twenty pound note one of the staff mistakenly accepted the previous evening, and the 'queer' corner of the back bar. That last one made me sit up and pay attention, but then I realized my mistake[...]"

"This boy would be a banquet. This boy came with seventeen Michelin stars and a personal recommendation from Gordon F Ramsay (the F, obviously, standing for the chef's favourite expletive)."

Yes, my sense of humour is cheap and cheesy. (And would therefore probably not be approved by G.F.R.) Sue me.

5th Story - well, that was cute, what with the Djinn and the strange "master" who found and rubbed the lamp. I'd have liked to see more of them.

4th Story - too damn short, dammit. I liked it but I wanted more!!! MOAR!!!

Uh.... I got nothing. I didn't get the ending. :(

Story #3 - Sacrifice...

uh... the heck was that? Sex with a ghost? And magically disappearing spunk? Moving on...

Story #2 - Something Queer by Josephine Myles...

This was amusing. Amusingly clever too. I so adore JL Merrow's writing.

LOL, so the guy producing garlic on his farm is now a vampire allergic to garlic? HAHAHAHAHA!!! This is how you start a story!!!

1 of 4 - Leeches and Layabouts by JL Merrow starting now.
