Mistress Vania Changes Jobs. Ep.17 Adventures in Fletcherism
Wet By Rain
Mistress Vania Changes Jobs. Ep.17 Adventures in Fletcherism. Roger was starting to smell. Riko took a bucket and sponge. She washed him with the care and attention usually reserved for a compact hatchback at a carwash. Roger lay on the ground to limit the chance of him slipping on the soapy floor. Riko wore her overalls and knee high Wellington boots. She moved Roger around with gentle kicks whereby he would roll in the direction indicated. With every inch of his body cleaned Roger was hosed down. “That soap makes my skin feel so soft and fresh,” said Roger, making conversation. “Is it...

Mistress Vania Changes Jobs: Ep.16 Rake Comes to Visit
Wet By Rain
Mistress Vania Changes Jobs. Ep.16 Rake Comes to Visit Riko prepared a mixture of lean chicken meat, finely chopped vegetables and rice. It was taken down to Roger in a plastic dish. The portion was small. Roger ate it quickly and found it insufficient. Raising the prospect of food in his mind, it was almost worse than eating nothing at all. His ravenous stomach’s reaction to the tiny meal was extreme and resulted in instantaneous indigestion. Riko had advised him to eat it slowly. This would make it last longer, aid digestion and allow him to enjoy it. It was advice he did not follow. Later...

Mistress Vania Changes Jobs: Ep.13 Amanda Meets a Source
Wet By Rain
Audio book of Mistress Vania Changes Jobs. Ep.13 Amanda Meets a Source It was early in the morning and Grant Stoat was smoking his fourth cigarette of the day. He pined for Riko. He did not even know her name. So instead, when thinking about her, he called her my love. Stoat was not unusual. Almost all men are at some point in their lives completely irrational over a woman. More commonly, they are irrational over any woman who gives them so much as a sideways glance. As for the women who are overtly hostile, they’re just playing hard to get. At least in the mind of the man who is on the...

The world had a lot to answer for and he would show the world who was boss. What followed was a food binge that lasted three years. It was brought to an abrupt halt with a medical emergency that ended in hospital with lifesaving...

Audio book of Mistress Vania Changes Jobs. Ep.11 The Punishment Begins Amanda drew a fish on her shorthand pad. It was heavily inspired by the cubism school of art and was done entirely in blue ballpoint. The fact that Rake could achieve the exulted position of police detective in Hapten-Shufti was a poor reflection on the town. The police were set apart from the general public. The nature of the job made it that way. And as a journalist you expected to meet your fair share of weirdos. The overlap between the two groups in the form of Detective Rake was making Amanda’s article more difficult...

Audio book of Mistress Vania Changes Jobs. Ep.10 A New Life Awaits You In the Cellar. With the man in the cap gone, Mistress Vania and Riko turned their attention back to Roger. “What was that man saying?” asked Riko. “It would seem,” said Mistress Vania. “That our car is very similar to the one owned by a famous jockey. Someone who appears in the local press. How that qualifies as news, I’m not sure.” “We must push him all the way in,” said Riko, referring to Roger’s legs which were hanging out of the trunk. The two women applied strenuous effort to the task of getting the...

Audio book of Mistress Vania Changes Jobs. Ep.9: The Caravaggio Café and Grill. Riko was working on refitting the cellar. Her shoulder length straight black hair was wet with sweat. Running the length of the ceiling were a systems of beams from which she could operate a number of hooks and winches. The beams were massive and larger than the beams that supported the floor above. Riko’s knowledge as a Japanese rope master was essential to Mistress Vania’s plan. Yet Riko was being very cautious. She had never worked with someone so heavy. It would mean an upgraded rig and ropes. She sat on...

Audio book of Mistress Vania Changes Jobs. Ep.8 Riko Does Internet Dating. Mistress Vania blamed the internet for so many things. It had overstimulated and softened the minds of her clients. Yet ignoring the internet was not the answer either. Virtually all of the world’s population were interacting with it one way or another. She had come to the conclusion that most people use the internet to squander all of their spare time and a good deal of their work time besides. Having discovered Roger’s full name – Roger Sky – she set Riko to work on the internet. After half an hour of pointing...
info_outlineEpisode Two: Mistress Vania Works Out
“You can’t just blame everything on the internet,” said Amanda, sitting on the corner of her boss’ desk.
Her boss was the newspaper editor Horace Pratt. The Hanoverian cast of his face made him look like a ghostly visage from the nineteenth century. His waistcoat and red suspenders placed him firmly in his glory days of the nineteen-eighties. He smelt of coffee and cigarettes.
Amanda Frost was in her forty with shoulder length red hair. She dressed down, apart from her glasses with the expensive Italian frames. In her mind a preoccupation with fashion had no place in the life of a serious print journalist whose occupation was now steeped into her bones.
She had always said: I’m not pretty enough for the television gigs. This was just as well, since no-one was knocking on her door, asking her to present the nightly news. Indeed, today was not about job offers. Quite the reverse, since it was the sudden lack of a job that occupied her mind.
