The Challenge That Is Tony by Pedro

These whimsical, linked tales were written in response to writing challenges on another site. In theory, they are stand alone stories and can be read in any order. Just to confuse matters, there is an internal timeline for the tales based on UK school years. However, the author suggests they be considered as random dippings into the narrator's journal and read in the order they were written as below. If you start with the first, Revenge, the next/previous chapter links will follow this order.
