Our home.

Our bed.

Our kitchen.

Our garden.

Our fucking tomatoes.

I spent forty years believing time was running out.

Believing my future ended with the Devil swallowing whatever remained of the man.

A mate who drives me fucking insane.

A haunted B&B next door.

A pink-haired Sprite managing it.

Fifteen Sprite siblings running a cleaning empire.

A psychotic orange cat who's somehow become best friends with my canary.
