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.
At the end of each chapter there is a link to the challenge picture that inspired the
story.
