A screenshot of some text from the story linked above. It reads: Blackwell Road branched off Stone Street on the other side of the bridge. The old distillery was just a short ways up the road, visible from Stone Street proper. I had vague recollections of standing outside it as one of a clutch of teenage boys, sharing a cigarette after youth club. Just one of many disused relics, its fallow grounds and chipped bricks hadn’t seemed worthy of note to my young mind. Indeed, until we rounded the corner onto Blackwell Road and it filled the sky in front of us, I couldn’t quite conjure a solid image of the place. Even now, looking back, the exact angles elude me. The slope of the roof surely wasn’t as steep as I remember it, the angles at which the walls met could not have been as sharp as my mind’s eye holds them to be.
A screenshot of text from the story linked above. It reads: "Lucy sat alone in her top-floor flat and worried. Chris had been at Albert’s house for four hours at least. She occupied her usual perch, the ledge under the window, opened a crack, with a hefty glass of Tempranillo and a family pack of digestive biscuits. Her gaze flitted back and forth between the front door and the rearmost window on the ground floor of the landlord’s house, clearly visible from her high vantage point. She’d quickly figured out that said window belonged to Albert’s sculpting workshop; though the glass was frosted as one would expect in a bathroom, he occasionally opened it an inch or two. A keen eye could glimpse a table occupied by myriad tools and a stout wooden chair flecked with grey clay. A keen eye with the aid of binoculars, that is."
Two pictures of squid at either end of a line indicating a spectrum. Header reads, 'Squidhood is a spectrum' and one of the images is off a large squid deep underwater, captioned 'Are the depths below abyssal, mirrored in the skies?' The other is a cute little squiddy guy, captioned 'Bllblbllbbb.'
