YouTube recommended a rock playlist for me that had a picture of my band from 2003/4 on it.

Caught me off guard.

I have a lot that I want to tell you, but when I write I can’t shake that I’m either complaining or philosophizing.

What I want to say then is: put in earphones and listen to one of my audio dramas. Escape with me in them. thief.substack.com/p/lady-in-wa...

Six days ago, a lady-in-waiting fled the cyngdón.

Having fled the cyngdón with stolen papers, the lady-in-waiting finds refuge in an abandoned change station. Her foot is injured, she is thirsty, hungry; she is eating straw - but Burhwick is just two days ahead.
