But not my own. The BBC’s, to be exact. According to the website, ten armed robbers turned up in two cars and held up a Swedish casino, before escaping into France. Apparently, they couldn’t get into the strong room despite ‘shooting at the door’. I think these criminals were slightly unprepared. I mean, shooting at a thick, solid metal door is usually not the way you get into strong rooms.
Strongroom entry kit.
Still, you have to be thankful that these robbers didn’t actually harm anyone. They just walked in, ordered everyone onto the floor, emptied the till, and buggered off into France. Somehow, they managed to cross the border while still presumably carrying guns and 320,000 stolen dollars. Trying to find them again hasn’t been successful, either. Sneaky bastards.
The story I promised has been completed, and posted up on sffworld.com. You can read it here. This is my debut, and sure, it may not be the best, but it’s my first, so I think that counts for something. I’m not quite sure what I’ll be writing next, as I have a few ideas floating around my head, but I hope it’ll be longer, and better, than my first story. Look for it some time around next weekend.
So, what else has been happening? I’ve set my eyes on the glorious HTC Touch Pro 2 for my next smartphone, provided I can work up the not inconsiderable three hundred Great British Pounds neededto purchase it. Damn, that’s a hefty sum. Also, I noticed that yesterday I managed to get five whole pageviews! Coming from none, that’s almost a 500% increase since the day before!
Yay for statistics manipulation.
Is what this is. I think introductions are in order. Okay, my name is Cameron. I’ve never done any blogging before, and only started because I intend to find somewhere to post my short stories. I live on an Island just off the coast of France known as the United Kingdom, and I dislike most forms of cooked potatoes. That’s about it. My introductory post complete. I don’t expect to get a lot of readers, but the few that do, count. Right?
WAIT. Short stories? As it turns out, yes. In fact, I plan to post one on this very blog somewhere in the next two days, so if you’ve just stumbled onto this blog by complete accident, stick around. Bookmark it. Write down the address. I don’t mind.
So, what’s the story gonna be about? This incredible debut? I can tell you this; It’s got a boat in it.
