From my cosmic bubble deep in space, I heard the call. A creature in need, somewhere in the universe. It pierced my soul deep and from the strength of the cry, I knew that nobody had ever been in greater need. Although I was in the middle of my ten-thousand-year hibernation, this was far more …
I guess it’s true that not many people in Over-Botch are unemployed. It’s a career simulator, and you actually have to start off with a low-level internship at the very least when you make an account. You can get fired, though, after which you get a LOT of prompts telling you that you need to …
Sometimes I feel like the people in the government just have a good laugh at us small folk. All their laws and legislation are so complicated, with so many irrelevant articles and sub-rules and what not added on. Just yesterday they passed a bill that requires all people who own a green Ford that has …
These last few centuries have been tough for the crew, I have to admit. Finding the key to immortality isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. The 20th century was the hardest of them all, with the invention of commercial aircraft. And we thought the 19th-century metal ship renaissance was difficult to adjust to! Now …
My sister was still in hiding in her room after blocking the sink earlier that day. It was dinner time and my mother was still angry about the day’s events. We were sitting at the table ready to eat but mother wanted to wait for my sister to arrive. My sister’s place was set and …
It’s not that I think animals shouldn’t be allowed to get married. I got the invitation to the boat wedding in the post this morning, and being retired, I don’t have many reasons to say no.

There’s nothing like driving on a freeway at night, particularly when you’ve just spent hours ploughing through the countryside. If you hit the far edges of the city at around 10pm, you’ve nailed it. You’ve missed peak hour by a long shot, and there aren’t too many other drivers cramping your style – just the …
Golly, being a single mother can be tough sometimes. And, while I’m saying that, I should say that being a single father is just as hard. That doesn’t get said enough, so here’s me, showing support for ALL single parents. I just happen to be a Mum. It does make it more difficult to juggle …
I’m not really one for comic book movies, as a general rule. I know for a fact that all efforts to bring Japanese animation into live-action have ended in abject failure, with the sole exception of Beth Boat. And to be fair, that was still a failure. It was just so bafflingly bad and tone-deaf …
Alright, so someone is just walking around the streets setting cars on fire. That’s not normal. Really, shouldn’t the police be doing something? Or, like… shouldn’t they have done something before now? Set up stakeouts on every car in the whole city until this vagabond is brought to justice! It’s not rocket science! Oh, but …
