Sammy had pretty much given up looking at the bookshelf these days. When he'd first arrived, there'd been a healthy assortment; nothing he'd have called literature, maybe, but a whole bunch of comics, the years of publications stretching far enough into the future to prove that the format wasn't a passing phase, some pulpy stuff, and a few good ( Read more... )

Delirium rarely dreamed but when she did the dreams were vivid and colourful. Cannibal balloon men tearing each other apart and feasting on long balloon intestines filled with cotton candy. A woman standing at the edge of a cliff before falling into a sea of red horses. A child dressed in a purple playsuit with a television aerial sticking out of ( Read more... )

But they'd been planning, and working, and now the day had finally come: opening night. The building crew had done a fantastic job. The furniture ( Read more... )

Now Daisy's had a whim or two in her life. Call it more than that, she's moved whole cities based on a change in the plan and a con gone wrong, so what's to stop her from changing her mind on an island. Woman's prerogative and all that ( Read more... )

All things considered, it really hasn't been a bad week ( Read more... )

Being a man again had brought up some memories Saffron hadn't thought about in a long while, from the last time the island had turned her into the opposite sex for a couple of days.
