Happy Halloween Readers!

Don’t be scared as you read our Halloween special.

Reed is persuaded by his friend to go to a Halloween party. But it is a costume party, so they have to dress up, and to Reed’s horror, His friend, Jai, has also arranged a blind date for him. Jai chooses Reed’s costume, a skin-tight skeleton number. But plans go awry as Jai’s girlfriend doesn’t come, and the blind date Jai has arranged for Reed has a better offer.

At the party, Reed sees a dark figure dressed as Death. He keeps appearing, but Jai claims he can’t see him.

The time before you leave home and go to university can be exciting, boring, or possibly both. Jonathan is bored, counting down the days before he leaves home and starts a new life at university. But his mother refuses to let him waste his time lounging and getting under her feet.

Without him knowing, she asked the neighbours if they had any odd jobs they want doing and offered her son’s services. He is not happy having his free time ruined, but he reluctantly agrees.

His first job is to mow the lawn of a man down the road, and he has to confront his sexual inexperience.

 

Simon is waiting out the days until he leaves for university, but his mother doesn’t want him to stay in bed all day. She nags him until he gets out of bed, and he decides to get out of the house and her nagging.

His favourite pastime is cycling, so Simon dons his Lycra and gets out on the road. Unfortunately, an accident on a riverside path led him to land on a fisherman’s tackle.
