Can I tell you a story? Two girls drive into the desert in a car that's seen better days. They’re going to summon a fire spirit to grant them their heart’s desires.

This is not what happens.

Perhaps they shouldn't have listened to the crazy bee woman – she’s not all crazy, but what she says often isn’t what you think she means, and what they get isn’t what they bargained for.

Can I tell you a story? Elodie is eight. She goes next door to wish Mrs Daisy a happy birthday (mostly because she wants Mrs Daisy to give her a chocolate chip cookie), but the inside of Mrs Daisy’s house isn’t there anymore. Elodie enters another world, makes friends with someone who talks as much as she does, and together they go to find the party.

Vera is on her way home from the funeral of her last living friend. She's not sure what one does, when one is the last, and when her child has grown into a man she can’t like. Then she accepts an unexpected invitation from the wide blue sky, and she leaves her familiar belongings and escapes her horrible son and steps into a very different kind of life...

Can I tell you a story? June is lonely. Her parents are dead, she hasn’t a partner. She’s thinking about getting a dog. Then, she finds a letterbox in an alleyway with ‘Complaints Department’ written above it. She pushes her complaint through the flap and second guesses herself all the way home.

Her complaint reaches the Complaints Department, a mysterious organisation that resolves complaints of an existential nature. Enter Simone, clairvoyant and kind. How will she arrange events so that June doesn’t spend her days feeling desperately lonely?

The Complaints Department is a series, so if you loved this story - good news for you! This series of stories will find its way regularly into Can I tell you a story? Keep an ear out for more episodes coming soon :)

Thanks for listening!

Can I tell you a story? It's a love story about a man, a woman, a river...

Ginny, a river spirit, needs adoration to survive. She meets a boy who’s not yet sure of the man he’ll be. Will he willingly give her his life for hers, surrender his whole heart so she won’t die and become just water, falling over rocks?

Can I tell you a story?

Joke (don’t ask him why his name is Joke) is the ruthless pirate captain of the finest sky ship in all the eight worlds. He tries to double cross the pirate queen and she sends him on a quest (call it exile if you want) to find the ninth world. He hopes he finds dragons out there, because he intends to tame one. He hopes the partner he’s been lumped with falls overboard. He hopes his ship’s shape changing figurehead turns into something other than a penguin, which rather spoils the effect of the majestic galleon cutting through the stars...

Will he get his heart’s desire?

I hope you enjoy the story. 

If you do, let me know! I'm thinking it might be fun to write another installment about space pirates and the search for dragons...

*update April 14, 2023* the space pirates have demanded another story - stay tuned for their next episode, out in a few months.
