2030. The scorched remains of what used to be Earth. A lone soldier walks along the barren wasteland, a dangerous place and an even more dangerous man. Danny marched through the smouldering rubble with a gun on his shoulder, Arizona was no place to be seen without protection, either a…

“Bah humbug!” I said, as the last of my factory workers trundled down the cobbled street and out of the cast-iron gates. Life as a Victorian factory owner is never easy, especially at Christmastime, when the production line insist on wearing garish jumpers and playing Ed Sheeran’s Christmas song over…

When I arrived at the petrol station this morning, I was surprised to bear witness to the quite alarming sight of, I’ll just say it, an employee drinking petrol straight from the pump. It’s not something you expect to see when you amble up to the BP garage on a…

After their encounter with the French, it was something of a honeymoon period for Captain Bollytadger and the foreign badger. They weren’t having sex any more than they normally did (which was never), but other than that were very happy in each other’s company. The ship had made port in…

Looking out at the horizon with a badger atop his shoulder, Captain Bollytadger felt a renewed sense of optimism as he sailed across the ocean blue. A couple of days had passed since they departed from what remained of Zarajena and spirits were as high as ever amongst the crew…
