Ivan sat at the red light, taking the time to re-examine the interior of his brand-new Mercedes Benz S500. The tan leather was butter soft to the touch - and it smelled great. Its light colour was a nice compliment to the pearl white exterior of the powerful car.  He glanced out and up at [...]

The German shepherd looks lost – out of his depth - way out in the middle of a big Queenstown cricket pitch. He doesn't know where to look. At his owner? The crowd? That stupid dirt-cloud of fleece!? His owner urges him to herd. Commands are shouted: "Fetch" and "Drive." Still, the now-unshepherd German, looking [...]

They won’t tell you fairytales of how girls can be dangerous and still win. They will only tell you stories where girls are sweet and kind and reject all sin. I guess to them it’s a terrifying thought, a red riding hood who knew exactly what she was doing when she invited the wild in. [...]
