Bad Machinery by John Allison for August 27, 2021

Ooh, a map of (part of) Tackleford! Where is downtown in relation to Keane End?

I agree little Claire, love “ithn’t eathy!” Also, love her back pack… very cool!

Colm want to end this story of fires. But that poor troll looks so scared… Claire, on the other hand, is really adorable.

Of course, Colm has gone and marked two separate fires as “#4” on his map…

The flame of love is not easily extinguished, lass.

I like how the “direction of escape” also happens to be in the same direction as a place called “Coward Cross.”

Love is a burning thing. And it makes a fiery ring. Bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire.

I fell into a burning ring of fire. I went down, down, down and the flames went higher. And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire. The ring of fire.

The taste of love is sweet When hearts like ours meet. I fell for you like a child. Oh, but the fire went wild.

I fell into a burning ring of fire. I went down, down, down and the flames went higher. And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire. The ring of fire.
