A collection of short stories. These are mostly experiments in prose and a way to practise and improve my writing so all comments are welcome. Working while at play, playing at working. Trigger warning: Some themes of mental illness, mortality, euthanasia etc. © 2018 Brian Lynch

I'm forty two and in danger of falling through the cracks of mediocrity; also known as a midlife crisis. I don't drive, so I can't buy a fancy car to fix it. I love my wife, so I can't have an affair with another woman. This book is part of my attempt to become a writer. As well as a poetry book, it contains songs performed with Papasaurius Rex, because what kind of boring midlife crisis doesn't involve joining a rock band?
