Yes, yes, it's true, you are human. That awkward, brittle, fleshy, entitled earth-suit, sewn up around an infinite cluster of majesty.

This body is a difficult thing to drive, don't be so hard on yourself.

The Inside Story

Upon the blurry windswept border between the English counties of Cornwall and Devon lies a small farmhouse, wherein resides a dog. The Dog belongs to a woman. That woman is Oak Ayling.
