We just received the following letter.

‘Dear Imaignary Scenes,

I was so excited on Monday, especially as I had spent the last three weeks staring at my impressive mantelpiece, repeatedly clicking the refresh button on my browser for 26 hours a day. And, then finally, it refreshed.

You said readers had to come back on Wednesday to hear whether Imaignary Scenes if finished or not (Isitisitisitisitisitisit?), but I can’t. I have to man the lighthouse for two days. There are never any ships, and there aren’t any rocks, and the lighthouse isn’t really a lighthouse and where there should be a light there is just an empty hole, but I have to go there anyway. And, I won’t be back till Friday.

Can you wait to tell your story? I want to be the first to read it. I’m your biggest fan. If I’m not the first to read it, then there is no point in going on and I’ll just kill myself.

Rory.’

Well, given that we don’t want to have blood on our hands, we’ve decided to wait.

In the meantime, this seems like the perfect opportunity to let loose the Village Idiot’s new series of drawings. They’ll be published intermittently over the next few weeks.

Thanks for coming. See you on Friday. Especially you, Rory.
