It’s a story about absence. About routines breaking down. About how quickly things can unravel when no one is watching — and how death doesn’t always arrive in a single moment, but can stretch quietly across days.</p>\n<p>Some endings are loud. Others happen slowly, behind closed doors.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Research and writing - Elliott Caddy</p>\n<p>Theme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears - www.soundcloud.com/deaddoginblackbag</p>\n<p><br></p>","author_name":"Mark Randell"}
