by John Riley<\/span><\/p>\n

There are times my dear visitor, that I can’t help myself, imagining silly little scenarios and writing them out for the pages. So I take my leave as we draw a close to this month with a piece that painted a picture in my mind and had me spilling a goblet of the bulls blood all over a newly washed burial robe I happen to be wearing getting ready for bed.<\/span><\/p>\n

A knitted onesie<\/span><\/p>\n

Tina adores being with dead things visiting the National History Museum and on first name terms with Stephen the wildcat guide. She’s fixated now on inviting him home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stephen said if she wanted him to come on his day off, he’d have to be back for tea at five.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tina’s obsessive about knitting wool wants a bigger project now. She needn’t worry, Stephen likes her collection of knitted Felis catus, he thinks they look great.<\/span><\/p>\n

He didn’t want to say when the conversation went dead, but her house smells a bit. He thinks it might be cats gone feral ’cause he noticed reward posters on fences for missing ones.<\/span><\/p>\n

What time do you have to get back? Five, he says suddenly recognising unmistakably a feline bone sticking out of a knitted Siamese.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tina just grins as if she’s measuring him up. Stephen doesn’t want sex with her he thinks she smells.<\/span><\/p>\n
