We have a friend who writes novels, murder mysteries for a living, the following is an example, and we recieved this little 'extract' in the mail today.
See if you enjoy it as much as we did:-
Morgan and Phil were so in love, after they got married they took a long cruise south, all the way to Cape Town.
A few days doing the tourist things, up Table Mountain and Phil got bored. They headed north to Jo'burg in the Witwatersrand and went down a gold mine, then headed west to the coast and struck lucky and found a diamond in the desert of Namibia.
Time to move on north, following the Great Animal Migrations and spent time by Kilimanjaro seeing the only snow on the equator. Then it was time for a safari.
They spent a day watching rhinoceros playing in a river and as dusk approached were delighted to see a canary flying very fast in a shallow dive. It approached the back of the rhinoceros and vanished.Neither of them could leave, they had to spend the rest of their honeymoon watching in case it happened again.
The rhinoceros was pregnant, in three days it gave birth to a strange creature, it was the size of a dog but had yellow feathers. The safari manager said the animal had to be put down or it would breed and chaos would follow.
Morgan loved animals, she stole the safari manager's gun, made the camp workers build a cage and took the animal home. But what do you call such an animal? They decided to call it Rary. R for rhinoceros and ary for canary. (Got it? Good)
They kept the Rary until it got too large to feed, imagine having to buy one hundred tins of dog food a day! "What can we do with you?" They asked.
"Take me to a zoo." The Rary said.
The zoo took one look at the food bill and refused to take the Rary.
"Now where can we take you?" They asked the Rary.
"Take me back to Africa. I will be at home there."
It was expensive but they loved Rary, they did what he asked, and went by oil tanker to Egypt and started a long walk north looking for somewhere to release Rary.
They ended up on the top of a cliff, one of the highest cliffs in Africa and stood looking down.
"You have to push me off. I will not survive on my own, I will starve to death without one hundred tins of dog food every day." Rary said sadly.
"That is so sad. Do you have any last words for us before we push you to your death?" Asked Phil and Morgan.
Rary thought for a moment.
"Yes, it is a long way to tip a rary

Oh flipping heck! PMSL! xxx To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. (William Blake 'Auguries of Innocence') |

Oh gosh, oh my I did not see that one coming at all.  Must admit I did believe your start and got bored after 3 sentences and skipped to the end. Then laughed and scrolled back up reading it backwards then the right way when it got to the leading point. |
