In Case of Excess Cabin Pressure

When under stress, I tend to find far more emotional depth in things than they might otherwise invite. This time, because I had to take breaks from drawing, and had a receptive audience, it got written down. And because Radio 4 just reran Xinzhou, and I have had just too little sleep to exercise the necessary judgment, I'm sharing it.

SPOILERS FOR SERIES 4 OF CABIN PRESSURE. Seriously, don't read it if you haven't listened to Series 4. If you plan to, it'll ruin things for you; if you don't, you won't understand.

That was surprisingly theraputic. I can see why writing fanfic is such a popular pasttime. Don't expect too much more from this end, though, I am not an ideas person ... we'll be back to visualisations of other people's ideas in a month or so.

In the meantime, I shall be driving up the play count in iTunes ...
