Thankfully the cul-de-sac seemed deserted when mum pulled up outside our house. I couldn’t get indoors and out of sight quickly enough. “I’m glad that’s over,” I said as I plonked my case down. “Can I get changed?” I asked. “Oh not yet… I’ve hardly had the chance to see you.” mum replied. I followed […]

As Daniel made his way home, he couldn’t help but reflect on his morning’s work. “Maybe I should have been more assertive and refused to wear Jolanta’s uniform again.” he pondered. “It’s not like I’d got caught in a downpour again,” he grumbled, before wondering if by reluctantly accepting it, he’s now a transvestite. “It’s […]

Mary wasn’t waiting for Jon when he reached the school gates so once again he walked home alone. Jon kept glancing at his feet as he walked. “At least it’s not raining today.” He said to himself as he remembered the walk home the previous evening. He was also glad of the extra covering his […]

When Jon entered his bedroom, he saw what Mary had left for him. There was a note saying, ‘just in case you decide to shave’ on top of a plastic box which contained her electric lady shaver and a variety of attachments. Jon inspected the ergonomically shaped pink shaver for a moment before clicking the […]

The next morning he woke to the sound of his mother opening his curtains.
