    After a long drive, he stopped in front of a damaged, rusty sign that said “Gossip Town.” The navigation had stopped giving him meaningful information few days before, so he had to use an old map. He placed the map on the passenger seat and looked at the town in the middle of nowhere, which seemed as if it was built around a local circus from old scrapes. "What should I tell him?", he said. "Small town, or better: a mixture of different styles of archiwww.onedoor.cctecture and grotesque gargoyles that lie around, combined with fairy-tale houses and crooked windows. A great place for a new store. The suns...Sugone door

    “Do you ever wish that you could hit the rewind button and live in moments from your life again?” Noel asked as she looked up at her husband, Mark, from her seat on the living room floor.

    Voyage

    It was the first time for Miles Levenage. He couldn’t believe what he was experiencing. He’d had the laptop almost a year - rather fittingly, it was coloured ‘space grey’ - and he hadn’t tried out the speakers until today. What had he been missing? How could they do that? It was just a laptop, with no hidden extras, small and light enough for him to bring along. Yet, as the track played, drums and hi-hat emanated convincingly from a point about a foot to the left of the device. The vocals, similarly, were coming from somewhere well east of the return key. How many more things could this thing ...Sugone door
