Reading this in dim light is giving it quite thr effect

I was gonna say this is "dark" but it just got deliciously more so

This was some heavy food for thought. Totally entranced towards the end

It doesnt give answers for the subject matter (which is fine, I guess, and realistic) but just the old fashioned tying up like some of the previous stories.

I think somebody must've hurt Oscar

'–but it was considered a great honour, and was duly published in the Court Gazette'
