Bonus points if you recognize the song title and know which album it comes from. I am not sleeping at all well at the moment.

She Didn’t Do Magic
Tuesday in the bookshop wasn't I thought it would be. Nope. Not at all. When I walked up this morning I had one thought on my mind. There's a scene in Vaporbyte when Ellie recognizes someone in a photo from a bar. And I needed to add a wee sentence. I know I needed to … Continue reading She Didn’t Do Magic
