Extract from "The Effluvia", by Anthony Riddell


"Who is the most likely to suffer?" enquired a betoothed individual.
"Wouldn't that be you?" asked the "nun."
"Explain yourself madam."
"Gladly. You look like piping."
"I ... don't feel that way. I do think that punishment should be felt."
"Just you wait."
"Wait? I've been waiting my entire life."
"For what?"
"Odds and sods."
"Is a ... a delicatessen involved?"
"No delicatessen. No tropical fish."
