Fascinating, Brian. Great and entrancing read. I've generally always rolled my eyes at kitsch trinkets in gift shops, but I like your exploration here.
Thank you for sharing the snippet from the draft. I'm very intrigued. It paints a clear and distinctive image and place with so few words.
This line was superb: "My daydream interrupted by a stern throat filled with phlegm, a densely packed chest loosening up with the first early morning cigarette of an old smoker."
Thanks Nathan! I mentioned Im struggling to get through the series. Work and some conference material pulled me away for a couple weeks (lousy excuse but oh well). Excited to get to part three though and move into some posts of serialized work I am currently progressing. Thanks again for reading.

I know how that can get. Hope you manage to find the balance across everything.
Look forward to part three and whatever comes after!
Thanks for taking a read at that section…that was a long post overall, probably too much for a newsletter but oh well.
