Are you sitting comfortably or your earphones securely fastened to your head?

Well then, sit down, buckle up and prepare yourself.

Once a month, the guys at the Hawken Cleaver head office meet up and hold a secret storytelling ritual.

They practice their lunging, trade Pokemon cards, swallow an entire digestive biscuit in one, and sacrifice the neighbor's cup of tea.

From the shinies left over, the aches in their groins and the tea stain on the neighbor's kitchen floor, a theme emerges.

This month's theme...

Time travel.

So get ready. These aren't the stories your mother used to
