Once again, Jason Evans has thrown me a bait I couldn't resist. He runs a short fiction competition on his blog Clarity of Night, and I, along with a legion of others, have submitted my effort to be poked, prodded, praised or pilloried................
My entry can be read here.
Last time around, I got all dark and twisted with a tale about suicide and emotional frigidity. This time I went for a straight setup and a daft punchline.
Right, that's me away for the weekend. A wee farm owned CL caravan site awaits me somewhere in deepest, darkest East Lothian and I'm going to make the most of it. Fuck this city!!

Great job, I thought it worked really well!
Cheers Rob! Didn't place, but the winners were all pretty good.
I liked this one too, nice build up. Although I do kind of prefer the bleakness of your earlier piece, but maybe that's just me...
Thanks Cocktails. Looking back through the stuff at Fiction Depot tells me that I do a bit of a line in 'bleakness'. I do crack the odd joke now and then though......
