Falling into a fitful sleep I tossed and turned throughout the night writhing in agony I was battling with my inner demons My husband woke up and could see I was troubled he put his arm round my waist to comfort me I breathed in deeply quivered then let out an enormous fart my inner demon had finally been released oh what a relief! 10/20/18

Hi Jan, you got me again. I was so deep into this write, reading so seriously and then the fart. Well, that is my laugh for the day. Brilliant. Your creativity sings once more. Again, an excellent write. The title also had me fooled. Brilliant. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs....Mike. XX

Another banger! Was it a Cadbury fart or the traditional Mars? I'll bet your husband loves you most during the winter months when you keep the bed sheets warm! Aloha! Rico
