“Joel #556, you are now to partake in a state-recommended nap. Proceed to close your eyes,” said Ms Carol #325. Joel #556 duly complied. Deep down, however, he didn’t want to take a nap. In fact, he didn’t want to be at school in the first place.

The spotlights focus. The curtain draws. The gavel strikes for the third time. And sold.
On 5th October 2018, right after the closing bid, UK’s favourite artwork (according to a Samsung poll in 2017), ‘Girl with Balloon’, began to self-destruct. However, it stopped midway, giving us probably the most … Continue Reading
Tonight will be a spectacular display of our emotions
I buy a bottle of wine, a basket of sunflowers
You bring the matches, the paint
And as usual,

ready to cripple, ready to kill,
ready to besmirch anyone who … Continue Reading
