Life would sometimes get too much for Charlie. On days like that he would unzip himself, climb out of his skin and start all over. When things got too much again, he’d repeat the process. Again and again and again. His mates called him ‘Snaky’.

Shaun tore up the rule book
After his boss signed-off to do so.

Justin had a weekend away. When he got home, he realised he’d walked into the wrong house! It was a much nicer house, to be honest, so decided to stay. Justin loved holidays.

All of the love was used up. People stopped complimenting each other, opening doors for one another and generally just smiling. Fortunately, Jeremy managed to reserve a handful of love from the day before. It was in his pocket. He had no-one specific to use it on, so decided to pepper his emails with it, fuel his hellos and goodbyes with it and generally just wear it in his eyes.

Judith wrote everyone a Valentine’s card,
But was too lazy to post them.
So she just walked about the street
Throwing them into the breeze,
Dumping them into the river,
Shoving them into the mouths of strangers.
“It feels good to do something for others,”
she cackled.

Sven really wanted
to jump
over
the wall
like a cat
but one of his
legs hurt
so he stayed
on the floor
and licked his
bumhole.
