Happy new year everybody! How is it going? Hope you have a lovely 2018. Like a great man
once said, may the best of your todays, be the worst of your tomorrows. Let’s make it a better
year than the previous one, shall we? Hold on the other guy is coming along-

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! How are you lovely people? I’ve missed you. There is so much to tell
you…

Someone seems very upbeat

Yeah. You got a problem honey?

No, not at all. Don’t mind me. I’ll just sit here while you try to infect everybody with your
excitement. I’m not letting you under my skin this year.

Oooohhh… New year new you?

Shut up. Continue your speech

Ah, yes. I wrote this for the fine readers:
May your winter’s nights
And your summer’s days
Be brightly gay
And wonderfully light


That’s…. Interesting

Interesting? That’s better than your Jay-z line up there. Nice attempt trying to pass it off as a great wise saying though.

I can do better than what you wrote. What did it take you? All December to think of that?

You most definitely cannot.

Lol. I think I can miss.

Did you just say “lol” out loud as if it were a word? Where did you learn that? That’s
unbelievably stupid. Dude…

I won’t bite, Sam. I literally just finished Agatha Christie’s ‘And Then There Was None’. I
loved it. I’m in a good mood. Have you read it?

You didn’t literally finish it. You finished it half an hour ago. And if you have read it, it
means I have too dumbass.

Oh … yeah…. you know I reckon I could write a story like that?

Now, let’s not get carried away here. You’re not as good as you think.

I’m definitely better than you.

Are you saying what I think you’re saying?

That depends, are you thinking I’m saying what I’m thinking you’re thinking I’m thinking?

Ugh! Show off.

Shut up. Are you in? Short story. Best one wins.

Let’s make it interesting. If I win I take over the blog for a month.

You might be unto something here. Maximum 500 words. Submission Wednesday the 24th? Oh, and If I win you’ll quit calling me Lucy.

You realise nobody else knew I call you Lucy till you just told them?

Rats…

Classic. You have yourself a deal Lucy. May the best person win

Don’t call me that.
*Quick shout to my niece Sahada who started school this week. Run at it head on like you
have everything else and you’ll be fine. It’ll get rough but the stuff you’re made off is
unbreakable. Hang in there. Your uncle is rooting for you. So is aunt Sam! You’re doing amazing sweetie! *
