We've made it my friends it's day 15 and our musical mystery tour has reached its end.
I wave goodbye with a band from my hometown, one of the most famous bands ever, yes today's #vss365 #prompt 15/10/25 is #beetle .
Who's the most famous band or artist from your hometown?

Then there was a fair at Tabard Gardens. ‘You want to come?’ Neville said. ‘Dad’s taking us.’
‘Now?’ Arthur was setting up a ramp with cigarette boxes to push roly-poly #beetles down.
‘Yes,’ Neville said.
‘I’ve got to ask Mum.’ Arthur left the boxes and ran upstairs. #vss365

I’d been drooling in the front row all night, & finally the drummer came over.
“The guitarist likes you. Sent me over to call you backstage,” he said.
“Damn,” I said. “I had my eye on the drummer. That’s a #conundrum, isn’t it?”
“No. It’s a bongo.”
I swooned. Funny too. #vss365

I looked at the golden rat statues dotted around the office, then looked at Riz, who was desperately trying to hide the credit card behind his back.
"Err...It's a #conundrum at where dese statues came from innit?" He squeaked.
I raised my eyebrow further.

'What a #conundrum, Pixie. Maybe this will teach you playing with demon portals is a bad idea. So what will you do? Release the demon portal & hope you can get to the last brownie before it's sucked through. OR close it properly & watch me claim that chocolatey delight?'

‘And if I said #conundrum you’d fall off the chair?’ said Arthur. Olive nodded. ‘If you know what it means.’ ‘A problem!’ Arthur bent double as Olive tickled him. ‘Gawd, your Dad would be so proud of ya, wouldn’t he, Grace?’ Mum shook her head. ‘That’s enough about that.’ #vss365

"What is going on here?" I asked barging into a smoke filled room.
"I'm not doin, or sayin anything," Riz in his little lab coat replied.
"So you weren't trying to #sublimate gold again in order to better steal it with a vacuum cleaner?"
"...Err...No."

Ex-Superintendent Carol’s former colleague had #sublimated his rage into a long police career.
Now that he’s retired, Carol wonders how he spends his nights.
The garden looks freshly dug.
He spots her eyeing it.
“Plenty of room for more to be planted,” he chuckles. #vss365

Inside a dark hall, a constellation of desks shoulder machines. Levers click every two seconds. All these faceless, besuited people #sublimate lives. It isn’t a glamorous job, but someone has to do it.

‘Where’s that Arthur?’ He put his eye to the keyhole and felt the coolness of the metal #escutcheon against his cheek. The door flew open. ‘There he is!’ Olive flounced in. His mums friend was big and blousy and his bedroom shrunk as she enveloped him with arm and bosom. #vss365

Not all that long ago, Dylan only had to care about avoiding Faction patrols, to deliver his cargo on time and intact. That all seemed so long ago now that it could have been in a different lifetime.
He could only #yearn for those days and hope they would come again, but he doubted it.

Arthur dawdled in his bedroom while Mum and Auntie Minnie talked. Money problems. He #yearned to have Dad back.
‘We’ll talk about this later.’
‘I’ve got a shilling in my purse.’
‘You know I won’t take it.’
‘Grace…’
Arthur coughed and dropped one of his books on the floor #vss365
