This is great! I especially like 'Haven't seen the sea in a long time', for some reason.

I absolutely love this story, Matt. It's so clever, the way each sentence and idea builds, organically, from one to the next. This is one to read and re-read... 👏

Thanks for inviting me to run 'Lost & Found' again! I really enjoyed the other workshops, and the picture prompts were wonderful, Jude.

I am, thanks! I had a listen to your story and it's wonderful. I love how you wrongfoot the reader - in the best possible way. It's somehow funny and poetic and sad, all at the same time. Well done! 👏
