Off The Wall
written by: James Hancock

There once was a boy who sat on a wall
Sat on a wall for no reason at all
What a fool
There once was a cat who stared at the boy
Sat on its wall, oh what gall
It hoped he’d fall
There once was a dog who watched the cat
Who stared at his master
Who sat just past her
High up on a wall
And gazed at a thing
A thing on a swing
There once was a girl who liked the boy
And would play on her swing
To entice the boy in
But he stayed on his wall
Not moving at all
What a fool
There once was a bee who stung the girl
A nasty swell and a tearful yell
And she fell
The boy on the wall
Heard her call
And ran to her side
As her eyes opened wide
And even though he tried
Was unable to hide
His affection
Their fate was finally sealed
They kissed and she was instantly healed
The girl smiled
A successful ploy
Had won her the boy after all
And the cat returned to its wall
James writes stories which are a little bizarre. He enjoys taking readers down strange and seldom trodden paths. Often dark, and always with a twist or two along the way. Comedy, thriller, horror and weird fairy tales. Stories to make you laugh. Stories to make you cry. Stories to make you leave the bedroom light on. But most importantly, stories you will want to share with your friends. But they might not thank you for it. Most of James’ stories would sit on the shelf somewhere between horror and dark comedy. There are also elements of fantasy, a generous dollop of thriller, and a toe firmly planted in the pool of sci-fi. Not that James writes all genres, but rather he writes stories which often mix two or three genres together. Forced to hide under the bed, but laughing whilst you’re there. He is a storyteller with twenty years’ experience in flash fiction, short stories, longer stories and screenplays. He rarely suffers from writer’s block and considers himself fortunate to be the victim of writer’s overwhelm. The ideas keep on coming. Where they come from is a mystery. A mystery best left unsolved. He lives in England, with his wife and two daughters. And a bunch of pets he insisted his girls could NOT have. His website: James Hancock: Author on WordPress.
