Ah, great to hear that from the eye doctor. I like to think of you still smiling, Jean, and being strong and even mischievous enough to turn your experiences into such a wonderful journal. Hooray for jelly babies!
I listen to the shipping forecast most nights before I go to sleep, I even have my favourite announcers! It will be even more magical for me now, after reading this. Beautiful poem.
Absolutely noodling fantastic. Bring the next couple of parts through that wormhole quick. I always knew, I always knew, that pasta was up to something.

Always the 'cancelled' making the most noise. I'm glad you warned me about the possibility of finding Piers Morgan on three channels at once. I might have had PTSD for a very long time if I had come across him three times by accident.
Another of life's mysteries. Here stuff gets draped over lamposts. So the shedder of clothing not only has to decide to go home without it, they have to climb up a lampost. I think our god of mischief is extremely demanding.
It's a great question. I too do it because it 'takes me out of my head' - you've got that exactly right. I can go where I want to go (and sometimes places I don't really want to go) whenever I want. The blank page does scare me a bit, but I've...

I do love a bit of dystopia, and this is an intriguing idea. And it honestly doesn't seem that far-fetched.
I'd be interested to know what happened to the survivors (if any) at the end. Is this a one-off or will you follow up the narrator...
