(Historian’s Note: In the British Isles it is a tradition in some places that a woman may propose to a man on Feb 29th)
Her:
It only happens once every four years. Tomorrow is my chance. Leap Year, and of course I am English through and through. We have our traditions, our heritage, our customs.

Aside
Welcome to Lightcudder’s World. No long diatribe here about the rights and wrongs of canon, or tags, or what I believe in, or what you should read, or what I think about UFO or other writers. I write UFO stories. Simple as that. You are welcome to read them if you wish. Comments always appreciated

Regretfully, I find it once more necessary to make the following absolutely clear, (despite several malicious and false comments posted elsewhere.) Continue reading
Henderson:One Hour
It was well past visiting time. He had waited, not in expectation but with well practised acceptance developed over long years. The door remained shut. Continue reading
Henderson
I did this story ages ago, and although its not canon, I had a lot of fun doing it. Sometimes its good to simply be frivolous and step outside the boundaries.
The Rachel Chronicles. A Personal Note
I started these stories when I first began writing UFO. The original story, which I never continued, was, to be honest, dreadful! Continue reading

The Bodyguard
‘It’s happened again. Third time this week.’
‘So get someone to deal with it.’

Conversation: Wayne/Straker
The private jet. The private terminal. The trappings of success. Those inconsequential and outward symbols that are so important to the world in which he worked. Not that he cared about this jaunt; it was another distraction in his busy schedule. Continue reading
Moonlight and Vodka Pt 2: Moonlight
This story continues the events in ‘Breathless’. Readers may also wish to read One Red Square by AnDelenDir as a prelude to this story.
‘So, we are in agreement then? You will have to move to England for a few months to familiarise yourself with our…. organisation.’ Straker looked across the table at Dimitri. ‘But then you will reassigned back here, all being well.’ Continue reading

Prologue
November 2010
Midnight in Moscow. So typical. The band, slightly out of tune, more than slightly drunk, and not caring in the slightest one way or another, thrashed out the ubiquitous melody, more for the sake of attracting any stray foreign tourist than any real love of the music. Continue reading
