After a slightly longer gap than intended, as I attempted to get back into the swing of writing new material for my long-in-progress novel, here is another Friday short-flash story type thing.
This week, with rare topicality, I am hovering around the notion of the Rapture, the religious event scheduled for last weekend. Apparently the righteous were meant to disappear to heaven, leaving the rest of us to wallow in our morally bankrupt filth; I have tweaked the concept a little. I don’t think this qualifies as satire, but I’ve been wrong before.
As ever, more stories are available, and I’ve also posted some mildly amusing diagrams in the last month.

My Dork Adore review of this week's Doctor Who episode, written by Neil Gaiman. The review features some pretty awful themed puns, as ever.

To mark my 50,000th tweet on my Twitter account, I have made this graph, detailing my time on Twitter and the major successes and failures therein. Think yourself lucky, I was considering writing that up as a blog post. (You may want to click on it to make it bigger, as it’s barely legible at this size.)
Oh, and if you haven’t seen the ludicrous hat webcomic mentioned there, it’s called Behatted and is still up for your viewing pleasure. Some of it is even quite funny, though the art is terrible, as I can’t draw.
