Imagine a scenario, if you will. It involves 5 people, and a fish. There was a cat, but he is not present during this time. For the purposes of the tale, the 5 people shall be given letters instead of names. Partly for anonymity. Partly to increase the mysterious nature of said tale.<\/p>\n

So, back to scene setting…<\/p>\n

Imagine a scenario, if you will. Last Sunday morning, a quiet yet frosty day, D was clearing the windscreen of his car, and doing a mighty fine job of it too. A approached D with a baffling request. She wished to speak with D and E together. E was not ready to be spoken to, being only half dressed, but she rushed as was her way, when D beckoned her down to help fulfil the aforementioned request. A had taken the opportunity, while E was making herself decent, to retrieve C to participate in the situation. A and C informed D and E that, although they enjoyed the proximity they had to D and E, they had grown tired of B and so sought a new location within the alphabet. The fish, F, witnessed all of the this, and swam around in shock.<\/p>\n

So, the following day, when B had followed his regular morning routine, starting words such as bed and breakfast, he began the boredom of work.<\/p>\n

After seeing off C to his learning establishment of choice, A decided to pack up their things and depart for pastures new, leaving B blissfully unaware of their fresh start (D and E assume C returned from his day of knowledge to his newly negotiated position within the alphabet.)<\/p>\n

When D and E returned home later that day, they informed F, who swam with interest, that the newly named B’s house was in darkness, just like him. That evening, D and E noticed that B had arrived home, stayed briefly, then left, not to be seen until the following night. This pattern recurred until yesterday, when there was no sign of B whatsoever. Not that D and E check whether B’s car is there every half an hour or so…<\/p>\n

However, on the evening of Day 17, just as D was arriving home from a pre-arranged musical meeting, B pulled up in his car. E, being a helpful person, not at all nosey, and considering the amount that D had to carry, rushed to open the door to observe B’s movements<\/del> help D inside.<\/p>\n

Now, B may have sensed the watchful eyes of D, E and potentially, F (although looking around corners is somewhat tricky for a fish) and B remained in his vehicle, despite turning his engine off before D had even got out of his. D and E thought this was somewhat suspicious, since B is neither elderly nor infirm. Perhaps then, he was just trying to avoid a potentially tricky conversation with D. E wonders how long it will be before B realises that he may need to explain to D and E where A and C are. F will be kept in the loop too.<\/p>\n

As far as we are aware, no letters have been harmed during the creation of this blog, but the alphabet as we know it has been permanently altered:<\/p>\n

B \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 D E F G H I J K L A C M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z<\/p>\n

Oh, and hello Shaun!<\/p>\n
