Today... Freda came to by an advertising hoarding in Leeds following a nightmare about being hit by a bus. She had no idea how she got here from Telford but peering through a gap she saw the only person she knew in Leeds - Tim. The man who humiliated her in Ibiza. She shot him.

Today... Freda stared up at the dog-eared Adam Ant poster that clung to her bedroom wall. She was jobless, potless & back living with her parents. She reflected on the last job she had & how whistleblowing had resulted in her being managed out rather than the perp being sacked.

Today... Freda's honeymoon started with a fight. This surprise burst of rage revealed a side to Peter she hadn't seen yet during their 3 month, whirlwind romance. He confiscated her passport & told her it was for her own good. She parked her fear & plotted her escape from him.

Today... Freda strode out to her 1st stand up gig. Apart from the odd butterfly, she was relaxed. Until Phil - her ex -took his seat during the break. After a port & brandy to settle the nerves, she forgot her routine, locked eyes with the twat & roasted him for 10 mins straight.

Today... Freda picked up Gerald in a hotel bar & together they drank the afternoon away before heading back to hers. He entered the home 1st & she pointed him towards the kitchen. He froze upon opening the door & she stabbed him. He fell, dying, onto 4 other corpses gasping: Why?

Today... Beryl waited outside the bookmakers that had taken her savings & caused her husband's suicide. At 72 she was invisible to the small-time gangster who ran it. She reached the counter & fired the 1992 service revolver she'd found in a toolbox before turning it on herself.

Today... Brian was arrested for punching the council official who binned his redundant ES pitch. When he left the station, he got caught in the rain. Brian danced through puddles as people fled for cover. He tore off his coat and jumper; screamed at the skies through teary eyes.

Today... Bradley was surprised by the return of Larry after 4 weeks. He claimed to have all the money he owed, but when asked about where he'd been, Larry fell silent. Bradley checked if his phone was working & discovered his last text was listed as sent from 'C*nt Features'.

Today... Julie endured her last humiliating drink with the bosses. Hearing how 2 centuries of tradition meant they could never promote a woman to the exec. When they'd done boasting about their arcane ways she revealed she'd live streamed the entire conversation via her phone.

Just to say, apropos of nothing, we don't allow trans-exclusive groups to set up at Nantymeillion to do things (things being wild women camps or womens drumming workshops). This has come up in the past. If your "feminist" group excludes trans women you can go somewhere else. We don't want you.

Today... Peter woke up amid, what transpired to be a 3 day bender with 3 men he didn't recognise. He had no idea how from an AA support group meet in Notting Hill he'd ended up in a pub in Northampton. He said his goodbyes but the barman stopped him leaving to pay the £500+ tab.

Today... Jerry came to, blood pouring from his head, ready to fight, but who attacked him? He singled out the camera guy. Not him. The elderly man in the jaunty cap took control & calmed Jerry down to the point where he could recount the tragic story of how he lost his daughter.

I’ve never seen LOVE, ACTUALLY, so this is not a comment on the film as such - but that title is contender for one of the all-time smuggest

Today... Barry wrongly figured his syrup would disguise him enough to enjoy a pint at his old local. Terence got them in as Barry went for a piss. There he was greeted by 2 heavyweight goons. He acted fast & left them a groaning pile of flesh. "You took your time," said Terence.

Today... even Francis Bacon on the tube couldn't distract Phil from the urgent need to shit. Once into the platform he raced to the barriers only to discover his phone was gone. He searched every pocket, but it wasn't there. A momentary lapse in concentration & he shat himself.

#28: Priscilla
A screengrab of a headline to a Guardian Adrian Chiles column. It reads 'I met Priscilla Presley this week - and couldn't believe she was in the same building as me' At first I thought it was a trick of the mind, another ruse by the building in which I had been imprisoned these long weeks…months…years…?—another attempt to addle my wits, turn me into one of those pitiful, loathsome Unmen who range the desolate landscape which surrounds The Old House, their brains destroyed, their bodies become little more than flesh-draped skeletons, lurching on unsteady feet as though strung like marionettes. But quickly I realised that the woman I saw, wandering distressed through the cavernous hallways, confused at finding herself untethered from her own reality, was as much a captive as I. How Priscilla—for that was the name that she gave—came to be trapped here too, in this crumbling, shifting, ever-deceitful puzzle of a building, I could not fully discern, for her memories were as confused as my own. I asked her if she too had read that mysterious journal which I had found abandoned at the castle ruins, but she knew not of what I spoke. Instead her tale was one of ‘television studios’ and ‘PR junkets’ and other things beyond my ken. I began to surmise that this dreadful structure in which we were contained was not only at the nexus of other universes but also served as a waypoint for travellers through time. And another revelation came too—that the house was growing hungrier. It has now been a week since myself and Priscilla joined forces to fortify the defences of this malevolent edifice. The keening of the Unmen has become only louder, and has been joined by another, more unsettling sound—the expectant gnashing of swinish teeth. I fear we have not yet seen the worst inhabitants of the boundless nightmare landscape beyond these walls and I shudder to think of what that means for maintaining our safety. All I know is that with the arrival of Priscilla—whose courage and resilience is both boundless and vitalizing—I have, for the first time in months, found a reason—even in the midst of this mind-bending terrror—to hope.
