Speed

“Met a girl last night who said she’d show me a good time,” said Sparra.

“And did she?” asked Crow.

“Yep, she ran a 100m in 7.3 seconds,” sighed Sparra. “A speed to revere.”

Atlantic

“I swear,” grumbled Sparra, “if they elect him, I’m gonna cut the Atlantic in two!”

“I guess for that,” remarked Crow, “you’ll need a sea-saw.”

Lunged

“It’s rare to see a 300-year-old spirit exercising so energetically,” remarked Sparra.

“A girl’s gotta start somewhere,” replied Crow. “I’m on lunges next.”

“That’s a big step,” replied Sparra.

Deathly Earnings

She unrolled the ransom note. “£300,000 or we sacrifice your husband to Ix Chel.”

She patted the deathly creature on the head and gave it a pig’s ear. She’d earned it, she thought, as she fed the note into the paper shredder.
