Twibbles fled out of the flat, waddled hastily down the stairs (no rolling down, phew) and waited patiently by the door.

John cannot stop writing. He’s only a few days ahead.

I took my shoes off and put them carefully beside the bed. My ruby red slippers.

She grabs her gun, hops on her horse [en]

She grabs her gun, hops on her horse, and makes for the village where her lover is living. She charges into the house, killing everybody in the way. Reaches the room where he is sleeping, picks up the cat curled up on the bed, and blows his brains out.

Love.

She pulled the curtains and slipped between [en]

She pulled the curtains and slipped between the sheets. The neighbours’ bed upstairs was creaking rhythmically.
