Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

Her...His name was Carlito Whartborf and his tippy tappy toes danced their way into my black dreaded heart.
"Picture it, Sicily 1942, me and your uncle vito had just gotten married." I grabbed the remote and switched the golden girls off. I hated Blanche's wide gauping face and Kraftwerk's song about "Bea Arthur Robots" had smeared the whole show with honest German faeces.
I dug deep into my fetid bunch and scratched my underdougies with great gusto.
I opened my awful blinds and there she was.
A vision of beauty.
Benazir Bhutto stood glaring back in, her eyes transfixed on my iphone.
"Gadget!" she screamed.
I lifted the rusty lock and opened the window.
Benazir grinned at me, her 'Ronnie Barker' national health spectacles did nothing to disguise her beauty.
"Gadget!" she bellowed.
I reached over and handed her the iphone, "you just move your finger over it" I reasoned.
Benazir threw the phone onto the ground, smashing it to pieces.
"More!" she screamed.
I tossed her my blackberry, her eyes lit up. "Is this love?" she asked pointing to the awful device. "Blackberry" I gasped, "they're made by RIM" I added.
Her face changed from smiling to grimacing as she hurled the blackberry down onto the marble staircase. It fell to pieces and lay still at the bottom.
Benazir and I stood eye to eye. Glaring at one and other, and with that, she lifted her dress at the front exposing what I can only describe as the most fearsome growler I have ever had the misfortune to encounter.
"..but-" before I had a chance to respond she scooped up the cat and scurried into the forest gnawing on the startled creature.
She was never seen again but I will never forget her hot breath.
For four years I received a hot turd in the mail. There was no letter but I knew it was her.
Benazir and I are very much in love.
She stole my heart.... and my cat.
Imagine if this is the last story ever written about her. I will have to go into hiding.

I like the factI like the fact that someone chose to ignore me based on my first post.
What a society we live in.
Some new cat's wont remember my name, but I have been here for a long time.
This post.
A chilling vision into the future based on hightened tentions in the middle east and the fact that I am not stupid.
I was actually hurring to write it before a bomb went off.
