205.

He woke up, tormented and wrecked by his dream.

204.

He had 24 cans of coke in his room.

199.

This time there was two.

198.

His thighs ached, yet he kept his sight on one lamp post after another until he reached his goal.

197.

196.

Papaya, Papadum, Pomegranate, Pear, Peach, Prata, Pasta, Pizza, Potato, Pineapple, Pretzel, Persimon, Poori, Peanut, Pumpkin Pie, Pastry, Porridge...

191.

Spicy potato and chicken meat, deep fried in a golden curry puff, all yours for 90 cents.

190.

She ran for the bus. The stitch that plagued her the night before re-appeared like an old friend.

188.

Our mole is to please!

187.

What if God were a figment of our collective imagination? Would she have made decisions in her life any differently?

184.

There is nothing in the world as ugly, as sincere, and as frank as a wart hog.

183.

She seemed so grown up, yet when she sat beside him in the rickety tut tut, she thoughtlessly put her hand on his lap.

182.

Bar-bary bar-bary bar-bary Sheep!

181.

She asked for coffee; everyone else drank milo.

He wanted to say something nice, but it came out as an ambiguous remark that she mistook for sarcasm.

179.

He put his new contacts in. Suddenly, the world came into sharp focus, bombarding him with useless information such as the precise concave shape of each blade of grass, and the subtle shades of colour in his colleague's make-up.

Her life was more like a large bowl of whipped potato, smothered in a dark gravy.

169.

167.
