    About this ebook

    Adam knew that if you are told a secret you should never tell, and if you make a promise you must always keep it. Except if it's bad and someone might get hurt, then you should tell a responsible grown up, like a teacher or a police officer. He wouldn't tell anyone about Jimmy's bike. That was a good secret.

     

    This 3300 word short story is also published in one of Patsy's many themed collections of short stories.

      ‘Ready Or Not’

      Dec 22, 2022

      SOMETIMES Christmas can feel like a competitive sport. “All ready?” people ask. Because I'm usually not, I find it difficult not to grimace or say something that is inappropriate at a time when we should be feeling goodwill towards all men. I like th
