Another flexible
deadline. Head
fires. 'To
continue to
ignore for
year after
year.' Raised
specific objections.
And stood
ground. Erased
specific objections.
Struck by
lightning. 'This
is, by
and large.'

God's better
half. Snow
on the
foothills. 'Think
about hair,
elocution and
teeth.' 'The
sort of
thing that
can only
be heard
by bats.'
Random shellfire
in the
darkness. Risks
shattering. 'Will
it work?'
'That is
my scourge.'

Another frayed
day, I'm
afraid. Law
and order
credentials. Downed
travel guide
relents. 'Man
has control
tag removed.'
Illegal dye
found in
world's media
swamp. After
a more
thorough investigation,
after a
ruling on
it.

Braking news
for motorists.
noticeably excluding
black smoke.
The 'grave
sins'. Scrap
revaluation. Guiding
not governing.
Family targeted.
Start to
wrap up
in-depth coverage.
The sharp-
nosed fish.

'One of
the best
weeks of
the year.'
Gloating a
crime. (The
screen is
dead, having
been alive.)
Classic election
coverage to
strike across
Europe. One
of the
best thought
out. One
scintillating fact
remains. One
bright day.

Pain woke
up again
not as
bad as
before – four
more coordinates
registered – any
one could
get on
here: a
man might
stand.

Art of
People. For.
Severance package
unites. Unties.
'Accused, as
always, of
willful pussy-
footing.' It's
always true.
'This is
just ridiculous.'
Send-off for
old couple.
Stay-in-beds deserve
more.

'Leading the
pack in
following the
herd.' Splice
this to
that. In-
surgent godawful
river in
spate. Action
taken over
breach. Same
day, same
ironic banners.
'Picking over
the books.'
The early
days. Assemble
power move;
lead in
the packaging.

Spellchecker swayed
toward 'Dixie'.
Help's at
hand: hand
out, out
size. 'Size
did not
shatter matter.'
Can't. 'Can
someone shut
that door?
The wind
is getting
up.' Beautiful
student loss
of security.
Keep ritual
separate. 'In
case of
explosion shatter
glass.' 'World
mourns for
funeral.' A
funny statue.

Relentless, immoral
secret backing.
('Put your
back in-
to it
there!') 'Nice
to see
some changes
round here.'
Specific text.
'It simply
cannot cope
with the
crowds.' Please,
stop. 'Nobody
read that
first one.'
A range
of responses,
some good.
