Humour

These are mainly for laughs and are in a slightly different (and lighter) universe to my other fiction in that Vila's mother is still alive - and they're all using emails. Dedicated to my mother, whose greatest fear while I was overseas was, like Jandy Restal's, that I was "dead at the bottom of a cliff".
