Heavy sh*t – 100 words

January 29, 2023 By Ellen Leave a Comment

Heavy sh*t Among the many lies they tell to women is the one that says they shouldn’t lift heavy things.

Hyperbole – 100 words

January 19, 2023 By Ellen Leave a Comment

Hyperbole The worst thing ever is: yawning upstairs to find you didn’t put the sheets back on paper cuts the last loo roll square misplaced apostrophe’s bass beats leaking from headphones calls about your recent traffic accident steaming coffee, stale milk realising you clicked ‘reply all’ just when it’s too late… and that your mic […]
