I just love this site, but this post really spoke to me, just a snippet, so you can see why:

This crane is surely the flimsiest crane I’ve ever climbed. The metal sections were thin, the mesh floors flexy and various pieces seemingly attached by little more than split pins. A Lego crane would be better. Out near the counterweight we found electrical boxed held shut with ratchet straps and duct tape. Hardly a reassuring sign. Our structural concerns were quickly forgotten with the spectacular views over the best skyline in London. When this building is complete millions will be paid for this view. Tonight, we got it all for free.

Last week, just after writing an article praising the adult industry for supporting a Max Hardcore, a man that largely disgusts them, I came across a drawn image of a naked girl pinned to a wall by knives, including one that was wedged between her legs. There was blood at at every point of contact. I couldn’t imagine what type of person would want to post this on their personal blog (which was where I encountered it) and, in a clear case of poor judgment, I followed the link back to where it the image was found.

Ch 10

Shazza held Jack’s shoulder as she looked past her to the three ships that approached outside; she could feel the girl tremble ever so slightly under her hands. With good reason; the three ships moved in quickly; in a couple of minutes they would skirt the outer edge of the debris field from the first merc ship. “Shazza, it’s going to be all right isn’t it?” Shazza tore her eyes from the front shield to look at Jack; she still held her hands knotted in front of her and her voice was quiet and tightly controlled, but the fear in her eyes was plain to see for anyone that cared about whether she hurt or not.

Ch 9

Jack fidgeted with the buckle of her harness. She had tapped her toe against the console until she had annoyed even herself with her nervousness and forced herself to stop. She had told Shazza to fuck off when told to go lock herself in her room, but she was afraid, there was no other word for it, but to pace back and forth in her room while she waited for news of Riddick, of Shazza, was not an option.

Ch 8

The four stood in taut silence as they looked out at the merc ship that drifted out before them. It didn’t pick up speed or appear in any way aggressive, but its presence was enough. Read more…
