Lucky – 100 words

March 19, 2023 By Ellen Leave a Comment

Lucky On Mother’s Day with the flowers, chocolates, breakfast in bed (or gin, manly hugs, and lunchtime pancakes this year), it’s easy to sugar coat the celebration. ‘Love you mummy,’ tiny wishes and the sharp, sharp pangs for the lost mums, the never-to-be children.

Grim Etymology Humbert Humbert was a monster. Who’s he? He raped Dolores Haze when she was only 12. Horrible, but why are you telling me? You’ve heard of her. No, I haven’t. She’s Lolita, the victim of an evil abuser. Not Dolores? The rapist who pretended to be her daddy used that name. Oh. That’s […]

March 16, 2023 By Ellen Leave a Comment
