    This is gold, Hayseed!
    I particularly liked:
    'Neither of them are worthy of the watch. A surprise upset: they are both killed by the boy’s mother, who takes to wearing men’s watches for the rest of her long and interesting widowhood.'
    It's the final countdown! PM me before they're all gone!

    Wow, I particularly like the way she wears multiple watches like the gorilla from the Richard Scarry books

    WHAT is that instrument she's holding?! A bass lute or something?

    It's a balalaika - traditional Russian 3-stringed instrument. They come in various sizes, like the violin family

    Ah right, thank you. Phew. A cross between a lute and an acoustic bass was doing my head in

    Glad you enjoyed it. My favorite lines are from the last advert:

    The pair on the right will be an interesting match. The boy has clearly killed before, and killed efficiently and well. The father is perhaps a year or two past his prime — but only one or two. He may have blood in him yet. Outcome unknown.
