Toothpaste.

A collection of short stories, written by me.

1. Toothpaste. - A young couple get slightly more than they bargained for when checking their cupboard for toothpaste.

2. Per Adua Ad Astra - (through hardship, you will go to the stars) Loosely based on the Guinea Pigs of the Second World War as they went through the pioneering work of Archibald McIndoe in the town that did not stare.

3. The Show Must Go On - Things go terribly wrong when a presenter faints at a live Outside Radio Broadcast to the entire town - with passers by spectating, anxieties must be thrown under the nearest bus, microphones switched on and grins plastered on faces, because you're representing the station, and the show must go on.

4. Just Words - Who knew words could have such a huge effect on people?

5. Semper ad Meliora - (always towards better things) As the king is sick and likely on his death bed, will the queen allow her son to follow his heart? Or must tradition be upheld?
