Ok, with the edit of my novel out of the way, I thought it was high time I cracked on with my novella-in-progress. Apologies to anyone who's been following this for the delay.

This chapter deals with the aftermath of Elmo's visit to the SKC Valley Unit, and perhaps shows what some men really do when they get over someone.

Comments appreciated.

Ooooh!

I've twigged there were five others so I'm just starting at no.1!

But just to ask, did you see that prog in channel 5 about guys who order these life-size dolly women??

Freaky.

Aha! That program and the enduing discussion on WW was where this story came from! Well, that and perhaps the reading of a few Philip K.Dick novels, and watching The Stepford Wives...

Ensuing, even.

I don't know whether I'm weird or what but mid though no.2 and I'm feeling, er, sorry for Elmo.

J

That's intentional, Jen. I think Elmo is the most sympathetic character I've ever written.

JB

That's ok then! He's a classic anti-hero! A shmuck [I love that word!] but he means well and I'm hoping his heart is in the right place!
