'I make
good
living.' A real
story: ordered
to offer
a deal/offered
to order
a deal/ordered
to deal
an offer/dealt
an offered
order. Nose
for none. Row
goes nuclear. Closes
in record
time. Forced
a halt.

Bent double royal plunge:
grills on troops. Always first
in the pecking
order. Blocks laws
on death. Becoming more
invisible. 'Is this
the tipping
point/the promised end?' Merger
means
more
parroting.

Dream loan ups
the ante. Looking up
to back invasion. Kills
on an horrific day. Say sorry
to a real
lady. 'Do kids
worry you?' The
avenging angel
always
acquires gravitas.

Black day tragedy a show
that lasts forever. 'When is it
ever not 'an emotional
appeal'?' 'Life as
apolitical.' Election mad
& stayed mad. Life all
pitched about. Some bold
blue idea. A paving
slab. That preys
on recruits. Proverbial
bad hand.

Is good? A line
in the forehead; a limited
science. 'Because it's
old, it's good.' A
lost ark. A lost
art. A radical
line. 'History is full
of similar examples.'
'Crass' movie
spells end.

'As I
recall
so well.' 'If
this
isn't, what
is?' A ship
is being
steered. There will
be flops. Return
to the
classroom a
'lucrative proposition'.

'There
will be more
news.' Is that
worth it? Soon,
very soon. Way
to work
targeted. Crocodile
tears in
October heat the
'ultimate disgrace'.

Babes 'on a
walk'
in the woods. Contrition
pays off. Hub gleams. Death
at work 'kills' serious
problem. Babies
on a roll. Censors
suicide. An
ever more
transparent
man.

Deal missile awaits
interview. Funniest,
weirdest. Go
against
nature. Object wins.
Tea for too many
objectionable. Anyone
suspect? Coke promotes 'self-
image, memory and
cultural identity'. Yob-
free.

Sharks target
bargain, kill off show
after
one week. Frozen
farrago threatens
fish. 'Vote

Pace picks up,

Face
role forced into
red. 'How
to dress
your wound.' Moving &
delicious. 'We did not mean
to offend' wallowing
victim, but. . . . Quiz
timed
over leak. Anything
from
furniture
to coins.

Best news
to hit
city, 'testimony
to her ability to
communicate
that first'. A
pedagogical on-
slaught, published
reproof, a
'pool of wrong'.

Both claims fake,
pokes paper. One
day war will
evaporate. A
big look
of shock with bigger
eyes. Head
and plane
a tipsy
conjunction. Two
men fall
at work. Nerves
elicit face: 'the man's
a fool'. Delayed
on train
for a year.

Lots of littler
ice bergs. Handy
sped up late in-
toxication. Sharp
leap forward. Sign
of a cat underlies
discovery. Hide
behind
the sofa. Optimism
silenced
by bomb.

No words. Happier.
Calmer. Cooler.
Healthier. How
to survive 'the
shocking thing'. The
big names. Pay
to be hip. Bang
to rights! On
the couch. Improve
our lives. To flock. To grieve.

Ahead. Extraordinary
apes. Anger mixed
with sorrow soothed. A
big mess. Un-
building. Up
prices. 'Huff and I'll
puff and I'll
blow your house in.' 'What
I need
is a rock.'

Formula for
lovers everywhere: first
guilty plea
in sex: read
my miming
lips. Nine begin
to appeal. Backing

Slow, strange
death of one
of the world's
oldest whodunits.
Claims
he has seen. Rich rift
plans to scab
over. 'Unless
a local
outrage stiffens.' A
desperate man. Children
equal
criminals, bringing
face to the fore-
front.

Win return
for two. Saving
to endure. A non-
smoking
female and male. This
figures as
the total
gap. They think
they need, as
almost half
the working
population spoil
her dash.

Goals against
England. 'We waited
until
he was out
of the country.' A
quitter
will emerge. Left
scowling. Remembered
in history. Motives
lie behind. Heads back
into space.

Doubt future
friendship or
motherhood. A
big building off
limits. Scene
after scene has
longueurs. 'Does
it matter much?' Toll
on glaciers 'sick
and cruel'. Former
art student detonates.
Fried and
compared and
constrained.
(i.m. Jacques Derrida)

'There is
no progress.' 'People
increasingly
do not want
complexity.' Cup
holder. Bolder
repast. Forests are
vanishing
into features. 'You

negotiation.'

Mimic heart
surgery. Purgatory
untold. Unfold
exoticism uncovering
retread. Bred
alembic. Set
akimbo. 'All a
parody
of it.' Alien
act.

Provocative foxes. Kids
need adventure; space
needs tourists. Censored attempt
at some kind of
potty humour. Tenure
timebomb. Aide to fight, headlights
fissure. 'How
to get
in.' Selling
that silver
pen. Experts
say stalking
causes harm.

'Ownership doesn't get any better
than this.' Blindfold kaleidoscope. Void
pieces. 'Many innocent civilians
were killed.' Live report feed
back. Flux before they do. High
streets covered
in dust. 'Wanna play?' 'Might
not back.' Signing warrant on
silence. 'Looks like you're in three
different countries.' Yeah, tacky
in 'em all.

'It's all
been said.' Another
backlash
beckons. 'Will success follow
them
home?' And you
too? 'A bid
to take
control.' Power
and sewage
secret. Scope
state
threshold. Right
now feels
some time later.

Maps
map movement
stilled. Approval
to
proceed. Re-
verb posts
that - a spartan
backdrop
coagulates
demonstrative
denunciation - a

zero

hotel.
The check-in
breaks

Face fulla
roses. Big
daft grin
blurts out. Red
pressures
blue cool. 'Disastrous
weather

chilling
warmth. 'Typically

Mountain
goes up. Gannet
at home. Defy silly
safer food,
alas. Pre-
hearing 'dubious, weak
and vexatious'. Boy
wins role, 'I'm

time lucky.
