Punched and Kik-ed its way through my front door earlier. Darkly funny, wonderfully unsettling stories (and fabulously illustrated too.) Well, what else would you expect from @kiklodge.bsky.social? Get your hot copy from @stanchion.bsky.social !

Hate the way the dog begs when I’m eating. I always shout NO! and then give him some. You’d have thought he would have learnt by now. 🤔
