Pom’s obsession with cars had begun to affect her personal life. Whilst only her best friend Beatrice knew the truth, her community was beginning to question where she went off to every day. Pom couldn’t tell them that she flew over to every automotive workshop she could find. They would frown upon hearing that she …
“This is the coolest car I’ve seen yet!” Pom shrieked, jumping up and down on the fan belt. Oil covered her face, wings and feet but she didn’t care. Ever since she had begun to sneak into professional mechanic workshops across the suburb, she had begun to love the smell. “Can you please be quieter?” …

Ah, video games…they have so much to teach us, if only we would listen. And that’s not basically how I live my life, because any seconds spent NOT going fast are seconds that are being wasted. That’s the whole reason I got a job as a courier, and it’s the whole reason that people think …
