The boy's eyes bulge slightly at the promise of what might well be two month's pocket money in one day. He recites the instructions back to make sure he's got it right, then off he runs. From what you remember of the city's layout you'd say he'll have delivered the lot of them within a...
Posts later today folks, was a bit busy trying to re-register for whatever farce my PhD turned into while I was on sick leave. Honestly, it's like they've no record of me being either a student or an employee there since 2010, bloody hell.
