All Hail Dadatron
This is for Mikeydred's June Challenge. Don't get Dad to fix things--if you want them to work. Just a little nonsensical slapstick for Father's Day.

Bead by Bead
This is for Mikeydred's June Challenge. I can't share this story without delving into a little culture--mine. I'm Chinese, with an ethnic twist. A straits-born, South East Asian Peranakan Chinese whose ancestors embraced Indonesian and Malay traditions.

The Blocked Exit
For Mikeydred's June Challenge June is a month of rest and escape. The idea of escape also calls for some introspection..is it the answer? Or a point of regret?
