I have posted this elsewhere already but thought it might give pleasure here too in a slightly expanded form. You could say it's a piece of fiction with a little bit of fact and a touch of fantasy behind it. Do they call that faction?

It was 1969. Man had reached the moon back in July. However it was now a Sunday morning in late September. Hubby had taken the kids out somewhere for the day, returning the favour she'd done him yesterday, and 37 year old Anne had the house to herself, ostensibly to allow her to do some lesson preparation. Her job as an infants' teacher wasn't too demanding but it did require a little preparation and she did it best when undisturbed. She'd made a good start at 8.45 but it was now 11.35 and she'd just packed her case away. Job done. So far the only break she'd taken was to make herself a coffee and cut a slice of that rather rich fruit cake at 10.30. She'd needed it too. In fact she'd not even had a loo break, not that it bothered here in the slightest. Her early morning pee at 7am, the first for 12 hours, had been absolutely amazing, emptying her bladder completely, and she'd not expected to need a mid morning wee.
Picking up a magazine and flicking through it she became aware of a different but familiar and quite pleasant sensation. Anne's bottom felt full and it wasn't surprising since she'd not done a poo since Thursday lunchtime, a memorable event in itself as she'd nearly clogged the staff toilet at school. It wasn't that she was constipated or anything like that - oh no. She just enjoyed holding it in for as long as she could until she was really desperate and it was making a serious bid for freedom. Sometimes she'd misjudged her ability to hold it in or the determination of her poo to get out and she'd had accidents. One such accident had happened a year or so earlier at school, luckily only half an hour before the end of afternoon lessons, but the headmaster hadn't been pleased and he'd made it quite plain to her that if she needed to go for a shit she was to use the staff toilets, preferably at break or lunchtime, not fill her knickers.
