EXTRACT: And so she says:/ don't cry, don't cry/ of course you can have my hee-cups, I'll just run and get them./And Sheila ducks off to her playroom/ gathers up her toy tea sets,/ all the little cups and saucers she can find,/and she brings them back to the garden/lays them all down at the feet of the tiny little fairy man who drops/ to his tiny little fairy knees and sobs with gratitude:/I'll have them back by five today.

EXTRACT: She has long weekends away but her job's pretty shitty in my opinion and she lives in a fairly mediocre town about three hours from here. I was tossing up about whether to stalk her but frankly, with facebook, there's no need.

Good sex and all that. But you won't be.

EXTRACT: probably doesn't take a genius to read my lips and work out what I'm saying: F U C K I N G C U N T. And finally, finally, there's a chance to overtake him and I just screech around him and give him the laser death stare and I get to the clinic with three scabby minutes to spare and I rush to unlock and check the answer machine and water the lucky bamboo and refill the oil burner and throw a clean towel over the massage table and the doorbell goes.
