"Grun the Barbarian, you say," said Lester.

"Crusher of Skulls and Conqueror of Nations," Danny confirmed.

"... and Connor showed him Twitter? Can he even write?"

"Suprisingly well. He did mutter something about burning the accursed Monastery to the ground as he threw off its lily-livered chains of hypocritical piety and pointless academe."

"I see. Well I don't suppose anyone on Twitter will take him seriously."

Lester surveyed the anxious faces of his staff.

"OK, what aren't you telling me?"

"It is possible he called President Trump an orange-faced charlatan and challenged him to a wrestling match. Winner gets America."

Title: At the Beach
Challenge: 582
Word Count: 100
Character: Stephen
Rating: U

The crowds had left the beach long before Stephen had arrived, fleeing in panic from the scorpion. The creature was dead now and whatever clean-up crew the ARC was sending was yet to arrive. Stephen stood entirely alone.

He stared at the waves crashing on the shore. They were relentless and overwhelming.

Did his former colleagues, his former friends, know what he felt like? Did they think he'd just wandered off to his future, waving angrily at them as he left? Did they understand he felt like he was barely keeping his head above the water?

Not waving, but drowning.

"Is that music?" Danny asked, inclining his head towards the anomaly.

Everyone fell silent. They were standing in the middle of a field. There was nobody for miles and nothing to see except the ball of broken light. A woman's voice sang out faint but clear, a melody on the breeze. Sarah took a step forward.

"Sarah!" Becker said warningly.

"Non, je ne regrette rien."

"But," Sarah said.

Becker shook his head. "No exceptions."

Sarah sighed. "I bet it's backstage at the Paris Olympia through there."

"It's French isn't it," Connor said. "What does she regret?"

Sarah smiled. "Absolutely nothing."

Extract from ARC Report 532 by Captain Becker

At this point one of the velociraptors seized the anomaly detection device that Mr. Temple had place on a picnic table and carried it through the anomaly. I took the decision that the risk of contamination of the time line was low and opted not to pursue.

I was not aware, at that point, that the velociraptor had also stolen half a dozen coke cans, a toy car and a comemorative silver jubilee plate - all left behind by members the public. I believe Miss Lewis is dealing with the claims for compensation.

Title: Heads and Tails
Characters: Lester, Yvonne Hartmann (Dr Who)
Rating: U
Word Count: 100
Challenge: 576
Note: Did not work out so well for Yvonne


"Heard you were angling for the Torchwood job," Yvonne Hartmann said.

Lester shrugged. "Heard you were too."

Yvonne nodded. "You hear about the dinosaur thing?"

"Not much yet. Care to enlighten me?"

"There's a situation in the Forest of Dean that needs clearing up. After that who knows. Might be nothing, might be a chance to establish your own agency."

"I see the difficulty. Could be a big opportunity. Could be nothing."

"Christine Johnson is angling for both."

Lester felt himself make a face.

"I agree," said Yvonne. "So I suggest instead of competing, we toss for who gets which."

Title: Too Many Cooks
Characters: Lester, Lorraine

Challenge: 574

"How did it go?" Lorraine asked as Lester stepped into the car.

"About as well as can be expected."

Lorraine winced. "That bad?"

"Israel says it is too dangerous send Israeli teams into the West Bank, but refuses to let an international force in either. Russia says there are no anomalies in Russia and that T. Rex that crossed into Estonia was an American decoy. Jacob Rees-Mogg says we should refuse to cooperate with Europe unless they give us better terms for Brexit. Oh, and Scotland wants its own ARC and think Cutter should be put in charge of it."

"So how to you find the Diictodons?" Danny asked.

Lester signed inwardly. Clearly Connor's residence in his flat was now common knowledge. He sipped at the cheap wine and made a mental note to dictate a stern note to the ARC catering service while considering his response.

"Vicious little beasts," he replied.

"They are not!"

Lester winced. Clearly Abby had been within earshot.

"They are very gentle. They won't bite unless you provoke them," she said with spirit.

"I'll make sure to have a stern word with my shoes, best suit, bath towels and curtains to stop being so provoking."

Title: Working Late
Word Count: 100
Challenge: 570
Characters: Jess, OC
Rating: U

Jess rolled her shoulders and paused for a moment. Ten more reports to check, index and file and then they would finally have caught up for the first time since convergence.

The anomaly alarm sounded. Jess sighed. That was going to generate yet more reports. She glanced across at Khan who was handling the ADD. Then she did a double take.

"Is that my road?" she asked.

"Whiteside Terrace," Khan said, "number 34 has been demolished by an Apatosaurus. I hope no one was home."

Jess felt her hands start to tremble. "No one was home. They were working late."
