I like this one very much, James!

I like it when there are no Clowns. I need a thoughtwright for a particular early trauma.

It's going to be a while until there are more clowns, you'll be relieved to hear.

I really like this theme of fleeting memory and reconstructed memory. the writing down gives memories substance and in just hearing names like Elm Grove (where my dad grew up) and Arundel (a truly weird place) brought back my own fleeting memories of those places. Don't give up, clear the runway for more ideas to land!

Great pub! Is it, by any chance, a Weatherspoon's?

No, but that question has given me an idea for another story!
