Ambrose sits alone in utter darkness, in a house nobody wanted, on a rug nobody loved, about to reach the pinnacle of all his dreams and hopes and plans.
What a pity it requires his death first.
Let's just hope the prize makes the price worthwhile.
A wistful, melancholic reminder of the importance of love.

Amy Laurens is an Australian author of fantasy and science fiction for both adults and young adults. At present, Amy lives with her husband Boy, her son SmallBoy, and a yellow Labrador who thinks he is a lapdog. His nickname is Sir Pees-a-lot, because he does. Surprisingly, the dog is the most jealous of the time Amy spends on the laptop. After completing a university education involving many twists and turns, through more faculties than ought reasonably to exist, Amy now spends her day as a high school English teacher. No, she is not going to do your homework for you. Not even the English bit. Sorry. Have a cookie instead.
