CLICK5: A Fourth Turning Tale – Writing ‘731 Days Later’ For Underdog Anthology XVII…

A Post In Support of BLM*

*Of course, that’s a lie, Dear Reader…

Black Lungs Matter Bucko Tweet

*Bucko took the screen shot of that for me, Clicky… /lights up… ‘Cos CASH (Cunts Against Smoking Humanity) … /drags… have blocked me from seeing their tweets… /plumes smoke…*

Outside is the new inside for the hospitality sector.

*If the outside is the new inside, Clicky, then surely smoking can be accommodated via smoking areas inside hospitality establishments? …/coughs…*

*I know, a stupid question… /flicks ash… Wait, eliminating six million people? I’ve heard that before…*

*That’s it… /smokes… The ‘Master Race’ architects of the modern Tobacco Control movement… /squints… What do you mean ‘Who?’, Clicky…*

Today, Dear Reader, mask wearing became mandatory inside public places in the UK. Less than two months after the World Health Organisation changed its mind on the effectiveness of masks…

… That’s fast work. So exactly how big is a Coronavirus (Covid-19) virus?

… In fact, the Covid-19 Coronavirus is so tiny, it cannot be seen with the naked eye. Which begs the question: just how effective would an everyday mask be at stopping the tiny, murderous monster from infecting you or anyone else?

*Glad vaping has some fuckin’ use…*

*Satire so sharp, it cuts… /final drag…*

*Dunno, Clicky… /stubs butt… Fuck it, I’m off to re-watch Deadwood with Cade. That’ll lift my mood…*

Have a good we kenned, Dear Reader, and have a Song…

Fumer Satire… A Cultish Thing

Er, I sat hear… smoking *…/takes drag* …Thinking about how to start this post, Dear Reader…

humour-table

*’Amendment’? Yeah… ‘Morals and manners’? Most Definitely… ‘Accentuation’? …/wipes tear from eye… Doubly definitely, Clicky… ‘The self-satisfied’? I dunno about that, but I laughed like a drain…*

… See, my friend Hugo has written a novel

… And it’s all about SEX

… I started reading it back in June when Hugo confessed to me that a short story he’d written for The Underdog Anthology, had grown into something somewhat bigger…

*/lights another smoke…*

…I jumped at the chance to read it – I was struggling to write my own story contributions (writing horror fiction doesn’t come naturally to me)…

hugo-dm-2

*/taps off ash…* 

… What I read, blew me away. I mean, I knew he could write, but what he’d written was incredibly sharp

*/drags some more…*

… Mind you, it needed some copy editing, so I offered to do that for him…

… For the next month, Hugo sent me his output daily, sometimes twice, three times daily…

*/stubs out butt… Yes, yes I am Clicky…*

… and I corrected typos, made some suggestions (not always taken but always considered) and generally helped my friend Hugo birth his first novel

*/lights up… Too fucking right, Clicky…*

… Hugo then sent his completed manuscript of ‘Cultish’ to my friend Leggy, to see if he would consider publishing it…

*/take puff and rests cigarette in ashtray… You know what Clicky, I’m so happy to have been able to help my two online chums in their budding ventures, I fancy having a little dance…*

*Nice! …/retrieves fag and resumes smoking…*

So, Dear Reader, I strongly suggest you get your hands on a copy of ‘Cultish’ by Hugo Stone… It’s ridiculously funny… It really, really is… And have a Song…
