Four Stories from Four Different Worlds

Ever find yourself in a space where your reading habits are best described as “miscellaneous”? This reflects my recent reading experience.

People’s accents have fascinated me for as long as I can remember. As one of those “odd duck” kids, I’d mimic different accents—usually well enough not to offend the owner of said accent. I was pretty decent at imitating international cricket commentators, actors from my favourite British TV shows, and (during one interesting phase of […]
