It wasn’t long before Iris found the glass manufacturing business’s filing room. If only it was as simple as waltzing in and searching through the filing cabinets for proof of the Director hiring this company for money. But no, there were three security cameras in the room, and cabinets magically opening themselves and pulling out …
‘Thank you, sire,’ the filthy man in front of me said with a toothless grin, bowing and scraping his way out of the enormous room, backwards. I smiled thinly at him, wondering how he was going to manage to make it all the way to the oaken doors without his thighs giving out. By some …
‘Derek, are you awake?’ I heard my mum call up the stairs. I swore, and quickly began closing tabs on my computer, wishing it was a laptop so I could slam the lid shut and throw myself onto my bed and pretend to read. I briefly wondered why I thought reading in bed was inherently …
I nervously toyed with the edges of my napkin under the table, running my thumb over the satin seam and trying to keep my leg from bouncing too much. ‘You’re nervous,’ my wife said matter-of-factly, sitting next to me. ‘What?’ I said. ‘No I’m not.

My staff are all amazing and they are incredible at their jobs. Everything runs very efficiently, although sometimes there are problems that come up. Usually, these problems have to …
Today I spent some time in front of the television while I was waiting for my food to arrive. I flicked through several channels before stopping on a documentary about arm surgeries. It was a very specific topic but since I had nothing else to watch I decided to sit down and watch it. Most …
This year at school we are learning all about different career paths. We’re still too young to choose which one we want to go into for real, but our teachers think it’s a good idea to find out more about the kinds of things we can do. That way, we know which subjects to take …
