    About this ebook

    All's fair in love and politics...
    It's election time in Heelcliff and in the arena of politics, it's a free-for-all of lies and slander. Newspaper delivery nit, Munchnit, is in the thick of things. The Nits of Heelcliff are not happy with the news he's delivering, his grandmother is about to ambush him and the track of his life is set to take a sharp zig with the arrival of a mysterious (and drop-dead gorgeous) Jagg.

    This short story satire is freely, and extremely loosely, based on the 1992 US presidential election.
