When you take away time and add pressure, anything can happen: an arachnid space-disaster, a streetcar adventure, lessons in overlord succession, an equine meteorological fantasy, tales of love and espionage, and more.

It Began with the Tap
(Playful satirical horror. 8000 word short story) Coming back to Madrid from a wedding in the UK, Jack and Maisy find a tap has been running in their flat for the last five days. In the middle of the latest global financial crisis, these hard-up English teachers have no space in their lives for crippling water bills: tensions rise. Jack accuses Maisy. Maisy accuses Jack. But as they desperately try to sleep-it was a long wedding party and a late night, after all-the true tap-running culprit reveals themselves to be an angry ghost with a very specific agenda. These two foreigners are taking up valuable housing stock that would be better off used by pure-blooded Spaniards. Jack and Maisy face the worst crisis of their lives, where they'll struggle to rest, struggle to adapt-struggle to live.Complete
