It went on like this. This is how it went on.

A girl goes missing while holidaying in a village in the north of England. The villages join the search but she isn't found. And life goes on and on and on and on and on.

I'm all for a bit of minimalistic melancholy, but this one really did stretch my limits. And yet, there was something that kept me going till the end. I was particularly fond of this line...

“Hanging together in leathery clusters”

Which reminded me of a bar I went to in London many many moons ago.
