Grumpy old man getting his head together in the country writes gloomy short fiction and takes moody photos of sunsets and trees and things.

Sometimes he plays 90s alt-rock bass for Message From The Oppressor: [Bandcamp]/[Soundcloud]/[Spotify].

This was written in the late hours of one Friday evening and the early hours of the subsequent Saturday morning in a desperate attempt to have something ready for Stokes Croft Writers’ ongoing storytelling night Talking Tales.

Thanks to my good friend Andy Melhuish (for the kick up the arse) and my outrageously talented one-time protégé Eleanor Hope-Jones (for the feedback).
