Gg Kk 9: Fumigate

Valentine's Day 2018

Valentine's Day 2018

Space Company launches flying car

A company from the United States recently sent a car into space. Probably the car was already in space and now it's even more so in space, but this kind of pedantry gets us nowhere fast, which might or

Gg Kk 8: California

On the horizon, we saw a wooden fence, the holes reinforced with chicken-wire and mud-bricks and adobe plastered on higgledy-piggledy, about two metres high. Inside the fence was a short open-air tower,

Gg Kk 7: yard sale

We followed the path down to the clearing. A lot of fire had passed through here recently, but it had all died out by now. The path continued, wide, and as if it had been carved out by many feet over many

Gg Kk 6: palimpsest

I opened up the pitcher plant, and pulled Gg Kk up by his shoulders. "Let's have a look at you, then." His head-wound had healed, and the biodegradable stitching had dissolved away like old writing
