I'll make my report as if I told a story, for I was taught as a child on my homeworld that Truth is a matter of the imagination.

My father had a face that could stop a clock.

RamsFan1963 @BookNAround I loved Shades of Grey and The Constant Rabbit, I don't know why I've waited so long to start this excellent series. So far, this has been one of my favorite books of 2025. 5d

“I have met people who enjoy a channel crossing: men who can sit calmly in their deck-chairs and, on arrival, wait until the boat is moored, then gather their belongings together without fuss and disembark.“

I try to be this person when traveling because I hate the stress of everyone jamming the exits on planes, trains, and ships. I wait until the end unless a short transfer forces me to be one of the crazies.

Cuilin I had the same thought when reading this bit. ☺️ 5d
