Pauley Tuck and the Picnic part 5 (final part) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Author’s note: And so we must come to the end of this tale. I really wasn’t expecting it to be five parts, but it seemed that the story demanded some background, and the conversations just simply flowed. I do hope you have enjoyed this little excursion Pauley and the Clockwork Crab’s impossible city. And to have met Oinkly and Cheddar. Recap: Pauley and the Crab are now on top of the floating rock, which is actually the garden, belonging to Oinkly and Cheddar Trotter - two anthropomorphic pigs t

Read excerpt
Author’s note: I wasn’t expecting a small stream of consciousness story to have rambled its way to four parts. But I’m rather glad it did. I can see by various likes, comments and so forth that on substack, for many of us, a short series is not what people want. But I find I don’t care that much, I’m actually enjoying writing this silly tale, and it was fun to introduce Oinkly and Cheddar (who I have written about once before). Bringing them to Pauley’s city has been interesting, and a small cha

Read excerpt
Author’s note: While the original story (or part 1 as it now is) was a just a short, some nice comments forced me to write part 2. And, of course, part 2 was not left resolved - and once more a few ‘what happens next?’ remarks have forced my hand. So, part 3 is here.The story so far: Pauley Tuck and the Clockwork Crab were enjoying a rather nice picnic in the nearby Pleasure Park when a large floating rock parked itself overhead. Investigating, as one must, the rock was under the partial control

Read excerpt
Author’s note and recap: I wrote a very short Pauley Tuck and Clockwork Crab story - both of whom were enjoying a picnic in the Pleasure Park on a gloriously warm day. I left the story with a giant floating slab of rock appeared overhead. I thought I’d leave it there. It was just a small slice of life type story, but a few of you have asked what happens next. Well, since you asked…Pauley Tuck and the Picnic continues…Pauley rubbed his eyes. Well, you would, wouldn’t you? But there really was no
Pauley Tuck and the Picnic (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I find with the cooling temperature my mind turns once more to stories. While this probably won’t go anywhere, I was umming over Pauley Tuck and the Clockwork Crab having a picnic. The following is written from stream of consciousness…with a keyboard with an annoying problem (no…effing annoying) a sticking letter ‘e’ (which does not always appear unless you hit the key hard. Arghh).. Anyhoo…story below:Of course Pauley was worried that his splendid clockwork companion might have some issues with
