"Lock all the doors. Nobody leaves the Capitol."

The gathered politicians looked at each other in nervous confusion.

"Someone has been leaking information to the press. Someone isn't on board with our plans. Own up before it gets messy."

The sound of a chainsaw starting filled the air.

"Why are you on the roof, bro?"

"I'm not on the roof. I'm on the edge. Everything I believed in is crumbling right in front of our eyes. We sleep walked into oppression and handed the keys to the Nazis in our own backyard."

He thought for a moment.

"OK, as long as you're happy, bro."

"Tall glass for a tall lady?"

The vendor opened his case and displayed the merchandise to his potential buyer.

"This glass is red and fiery. This one cool. This one is unique and this very special one is slightly fractured. Take your choice, choose your soul mate. My Lord."

McCutheon looked up at the time window, her fingers gently caressing the tracker ball as it cycled through various points in history. Her eyes lit up as she saw what she was looking for. Her client would pay handsomely for this particular moment of the Bronze age. #hbp109

Only minutes to live, blood dripping from an open wound on his side. Breathing getting shallower, legs almost too heavy to move anymore. One of these trees belongs to the Miracle One. But which one? Knowing he had to start somewhere he knocked on the first tree, only a hundred left to go.

Caroline opened her eyes, sweat dripping from her body. Her breath deep and rapid.

"The blonde lady by the sea. She's the key. I've seen this before in a dream. She knows who's responsible."

"Responsible for what?" Jack asked groggily.

Caroline's eyes burned with fear.

"Everything!"

"I've seen this before in a dream. You held my hand and we kissed."

"But what about Reginald? He'll kill you if he found out." Anne replied.

"Not if we meet in dreams. Our dreams will be ours alone. Kissing, cuddling, fucking..."

"Oh..."

Before she could speak, the dreams began.

I've robbed the same bank five times. Keep going back and opening a new account with the stolen money as a deposit just so I can talk to Debs behind the counter. The last time I broke in was during the night and left flowers and chocolates for her as a present. Too shy to ask for her number. #hbp105

We'll start slowly, almost unnoticeable at first. Feign ignorance, accidentally forget instructions. Fail to file paperwork, not report to meetings, take longer breaks. Then we'll march and gather. The movement will grow and finally, brick by brick, we're gonna tear it all down. Every sordid inch.
Dialogue: "Brick by brick, we're gonna tear it all down." #hbp104

First rule of X Club. There has always been X, it is in your mind, your heart and your society. There is no original thought, only the leaders of X Club can have original thoughts. It is up to you to echo these thoughts and bring those who do not believe into our circle of X.

Is there a way to save posts for later on this thing or is it just a case of trying remember where you saw it and remembering to go back to it later? Bit like me in Tesco. #help

"You failed to protect me! You're the eldest, my big Sis. You failed at everything!"

Abi was right. She screams in my ear every night while I try to find the illusion of a nights sleep. Not even saying sorry works to exorcise her ghost anymore.

Your body lay on the operating table; stiff, grey and lifeless. A hundred mechanisms that had once been the cutting edge of technology corroded and broken. But, your face still young and beautiful. I didn't see the door until it opened and the creature that controlled you emerged.

"Do not put anything inside that hole. No fingers, hands, fists, tongue and especially not your dick. The story about a sex fairy being bound and sealed inside a tree is Bullshit. Everyone knows it."

I tried to warn them. It was too late, no-one ever listens, and now she owns their souls.

"So when they finally decipher that last crop circle they'll be in for a shock!"

"Why not just write it in a language they understand?" The co-pilot asked.

"Because they never understand. Look who they put in charge!"

The tiny cigar shaped craft zipped out from Earth's atmosphere.

"Prepare yourself, it's a pretty gruesome sight. I'm sorry for putting you through this, but we need you to identify if it's her."

He pulled back the sheet, I nodded. He replaced it.

“We met by chance at a music festival.” I said, "I was intoxicated by her beauty and those tattoos" #hbp96

Looking to follow any amateur voice actors. Been out of the podcast/audio drama world for a while and tentatively trying to work my way back in. Writing some new projects. #audio

Here's a throwback from before Christmas. Went to see Big Country in Margate and took some beach shots while I was waiting for the train back.

Listening to some tunes before putting the little one to bed. Driving To Damascus by Big Country contains some absolute bangers. Still as good now as when I first heard it in 99'

My parents wanted me to be a computer programmer as they recognised it would be a valuable profession. And I was interested until I watched Mel Bush in The Trial of a Time Lord. She put me right off and I trained as an accountant instead. Possibly a mistake.
