I write short stories and articles for magazines. When I get paid I have been known to dance, badly. I take a special interest in UK criminal justice system.

Many thanks to paragraphplanet.com - always a thrill to spend a day on the Planet.
This started as a prompt at North Tyneside Writers' Circle to write about something I do, but from the perspective of the other person/thing. Thanks to @inkjunkie1984 for the inspiration.

Please don't send us AI-generated stories. This age of taking credit for something you didn't do is such a pain. We will now have Zoom calls with all writers we consider accepting. And we will delay payment to avoid paying bad actors. This bullshit.

Dashing away with the unsolved clues,
Knowing some friends they would have to lose,
Catching the baddies who make the news,
They solved the mystery.

‘Twas on a Thursday afternoon,
When I beheld four pensioners,
They looked so neat in Coopers Chase
In every high degree.
They looked so neat and clever, O,
A-solving of a murder, O

Plan insurrection and a coup
Seek out the rebellious few
But beware the Thought Police,
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU
When rebellion you learn to rue
And the Party line to spew,
When you learn to love Big Brother,
BIG BROTHER WILL LOVE YOU TOO

Be careful what you say,
Be careful what you do.
Remember, don’t forget,
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU
The truth lies all askew,
The past no longer true.
They tell you ‘War is Peace’
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU

Aslan the Lion is put to death,
It seems that all is lost.
But when a deeper magic then prevails
Life and Spring return at last.
