| Interlude: Along the Way | This was originally a short story written back in 2006 (more as practice writing than anything else). The storytelling and style didn't sit well with the novelisation, so I have edited it - in some places quite severely. The original - which was intended to be standalone, and was published in Jigsaw Pieces 1 - can still be read here. |
