Passage...


I Acquired a ticket for the inaugural event!
A fortnight before, I experienced such a night terror: icy blackness, crushing weight, I couldn't breathe. Providence dictated I cancel; so I contacted the Herald. My advertisement started thus: "Ticket for sale, RMS Titanic".

    Thank goodness for not ignoring providence. That twist at the end was great. I didn't expect that!
