Lolly barked and dashed along the path with Molly close behind. They turned at the end where the smell of fox distracted them off the path into the bush. Two bums stuck out. Tails wagged in unison and before Mum noticed Lolly rolled in fox poo. So #sinful but so good #vss365

‘My business is really taking off.’ ‘Really? What is it?’ ‘Instead of a boring prayer mat for people to communicate with God & seek forgiveness, I’ve worked the design into a trampoline.’ ‘You mean, people can jump away their #sins?’ ‘Exactly. Prophets are going through the roof.’ #vss365

Morning all. The first thing this Pixie dreads in the morning? Gabe's shower solo. Today: an 80s classic, wailed at full volume. 'It's a #Sin.' Windows slam up and down the street. It's time to reach for the hot water switch. 'Enough, Gabe. Your audience has spoken!' #vss365

What they did had been described as "living in #sin", which was the opposite of how they felt, living in love. Eventually, he made an "honest woman" of her by marrying on a beautiful late summer's day. The symbolism mattered, proclaiming their love to all. #vss365

To find an #island. Goodbye to confused aunts who lose their false teeth in the fridge. Goodbye to desperate teenage daughters who can’t find clean tights. Goodbye to crying bosses throwing tantrums cause they don’t have coffee. Hello to early nights and lazy mornings. #vss365

‘Can you help me figure out which #island is best for a family vacation?’ ‘How big is your budget?’ ‘Not very. I need to pay attention to costs.’ ‘Well, a slice of pumpkin pie is $6.95 in Jamaica, but in Saint Lucia it’s more like $8.50.’ ‘Oh.’ ‘That’s the pie rates of the Caribbean.’ #vss365

“Don’t worry, she’ll understand,” Lyn told Pauline yesterday when she said she couldn’t attend Carol’s WI meeting. This must be how that weather forecaster felt after reassuring the British public there’d be no #hurricane. “Sorry, Pauline,” she mumbled over the howling. #vss365

We took shelter with shadows that weren’t our own. Against flickering lights from near-dead batteries, they mimed to each other on the concrete walls, panicked movements, an argument. Outside, the #hurricane raged. When the lights went out, we heard them whisper, calling us the shadows. #vss365

Mummy, I get scared when the wind howls against the window. Do you think a #hurricane ever gets scared? Yes, darling, we're all afraid things we don't understand. I imagine, when the eye of the storm passes, its terrified of its own stillness. I'll be brave and sing it a lullaby next time. #vss365

‘I used to live right there.’ ‘There? That’s the #harbour. You mean you used to live on a houseboat?’ ‘I did. I met the man of my dreams-he lived on the boat right next to me. Everything was great in the beginning, then it was a tragic romance story. ‘What happened?’ ‘We drifted apart.’ #vss365

Lily’s therapist said it wasn’t healthy to #harbour so many grudges. “Release them into the sea!” she said. Lily pictured all her enemies on boats, disappearing over the horizon. She felt lighter already. It was choppy today. Maybe some of them really were out there… #vss365

The full moon cast a romantic glow through the trees. She puckered up. “Now you’ve #lured me here, what will you do with me?” A wolf stepped out of the shadows & stalked towards them, yellow eyes aglow. She screamed. He stepped in front of her. “Hi, darling,” he said. “Here’s your dinner.” #vss365

He set the #lure and then cast, face in the sun, waiting for a bite. “Won’t work.” “Used to.” He shaded his eyes with his hand. “I’m not 5, anymore.” “Uh-huh.” There was a quick tug on the line. Then she walked toward him, munching on the KitKat. “Nice to have you back, neighbor.” #vss365

She entered the confectioners anyway; dripped through the chocolate fountain. A #lure of sugar mice and champagne truffles. Her tongue twitched. The musk of earthy cocoa. And there, on the wooden counter, toffee drops in a paper cornet. A quick giggle and they’re scoffed #vss365

The sky had had enough of our nonsense, so it sent down a #cloud to calm us down. It settled like sea foam. For a while it worked. We were quiet from fear. But soon the confidence rose from the gloom and the screams began to sing. So the cloud tightened its grip and we all drifted to sleep. #vss365

The hydrogen thieves sucked the life out of our sun, leaving only a disco ball in its place. The mock sun, from the neighboring system visits from time to time. It leers at us, shivering under a #mountain of heated blankets, and refuses to share any of its own warmth. #vss365
